In the Final Analysis, we’re all in prison.

In the Final Analysis, we’re all in prison. I agree with the Soul who said, “Either we learn to live together or we die together.” So what is Safe? There are those who burrow deep into the Green Zones, amass huge profits and Disconnect from reality. In this way they seek to Insulate themselves from the pain of the world – and considerable pain there is. But those people become Prisoners of the Mind.

When we first started this outpost we had such High Ideals. We were going to do things a New Way, a Better Way, a Way for the Ages. Our music rang out with the joy of the Universe. We had such belief in ourselves! It’s hard to believe we are the same people. How did we descend into War and Starvation and Injustice so easily? Are we just kidding ourselves thinking we still hold that same goodness?

Many are proud of the things they have. But the truth is, we don’t have Things, they have Us. That is what Possessed means.
