We Want Your Soul

Adam Freeland


Tell us, your habits, your fads, your fears
Give us, your address, your shoe size, your years
your digits, your plans, your number, your eyes
your schedule, your desktop, your details, your life
Show us your children, your photos, your home
Here... take credit, take insurance, take a loan
get a job, get a pension, get a haircut, get a suit
play the lottery, play football, play the field, snort some toot

We want your soul

Here's boy bands, here's Mackers, here's Britney, here's Cola
here's pizza, here's TV, here's some rock and some roller
watch commercials, more commercials, watch Jerry, not Oprah
buy a better life from the comfort of your sofa



Here's popcorn, here's magazines, here's milkshake, here's blue jeans
here's padded bras, here's armpit wax, here's football shirts, here's baseball caps
here's live talk shows, here's video games, here's cola lite, here's ten more lanes
here's filter tips, here's collagen lips, here's all night malls, here's plastic hips

We want your soul

Your cellphone, your wallet, your time, your ideas
no barcode, no party, no ID, no beers
your bankcard, your licence, your thoughts, your fears
no simcard, no disco, no photo, not here

Your blood, your sweat, your passions, your regrets
your profits, your time off, your fashions, your sex
your pills, your grass, your tits, your ass
your laughs, your balls, we want it all...

We want your soul

Open Eyes

It's difficult to manage contradictions It's distressing to see data that contradicts your beliefs It takes courage to challenge your assumptions It takes humility to acknowledge your human fallibility, and change your mind. I argue that you've not opened your eyes to the fullest without this. I've found that people run from ambiguity, and that the desire to escape ambiguity is a strong and hidden source for addiction, dogma, and procrastination.    

Music Playlist Debacle

 Where do you host a music playlist, your song collection, where it won't be altered by the host? I go to YouTube, and daily, my playlist is altered. I scroll through my playlist, and songs are missing because they've been blocked, or made private, or deleted. Where do you host your music playlist?

Closed Open Minds

     To be open minded means that you entertain all arguments. ALL of them. That's when you realize that many people who told you that they're open minded are actually not, because they'll judge you for listening to an opposing political argument, or for lending an ear to someone from another religion. I think that it's a mistake to think that we can all like each other sometime in the future. That would require a considerable amount of hegemony, and that's the opposite of freedom, that's the opposite of open mindedness. Freedom isn't rainbows and unicorns, freedom is complex and can be dangerous, and scary. In the woods, an armadillo wanders off into the road, and someone else's freedom paved a road, and ran right over it while freely traveling from one city to another. Perhaps, the root of many of our social issues has to do with the inability to sit with discomfort. The way that tribesmen had to sleep, with bears, and lions, or giant ants, and snakes ...
