Where no tyranny is tolerable

The Strings Inside my ...

It is the Future.
I am "wearing" a string
that is implanted up my *****s,
like the catheter a nurse may insert inside you
in the hospital to help you pee.
And you know how uncomfortable
wearing one of those awful catheters can be.
Every citizen is connected
to every other person in this way,
with strings implanted in our *********s,
and all the strings are connected
to the National Government in New York.
It is by means of the strings
that the National Government in New York
broadcasts daily news
and the National Public Television Channel
to the people everywhere.
The problem with the system,
comprising more
Than two hundred million strings,
is that the strings of every person
get entangled with the strings attached to every other,
and the biggest string of all
to the National Government in New York.
It feels so awful to be yanked
whthout warning, this way or that
by strings inside my *****,
pulling me by the *****,
especially not knowing who is pulling;
Is it the National Government in New York
or is it just the people pulling at my ****s?
I am working a National Government job
at my local neighborhood branch
of the National Government Workplace.
When one day at my lunch break,
in my neighborhood branch
of the National Government Cafeteria,
I ask a coworker whether it's illegal
to remove the strings set in our ****..s.
He says it's not exactly legal,
but points out that
if you're not connected,
you won't know what is going on in the world.
I ask him: are there any people
not required to be connected by the strings
inserted up their ******ls?
He says that people who weren't bred here,
who grew up before the New Society,
are not required to wear them,
because the adjustment
of being pulled by strings
inserted up their *******s,
would be too great for them.
I get so exhasperated
with being pulled and jerked around
by the strings inside my *****s,
that I just yank them out,
though it is bloody and quite painful.
and Not to mention probably illegal.
But I am so happy to be free
from the National Government at last.
Now I'm not attached, and I resolve
that no one's going
to ever, ever pull and jerk me by the *****s any more.

I'm in a line of commuters walking home,
pulling a scooter along with me.
There is a woman behind me.
I think she wants to pass me up
as she keeps on tooting her horn.
Beep beep ...
Then it dawns on me
it would be faster to ride the scooter home.
I punch the coordinates into a keypad
and the scooter speeds away.

I'm back in the old apartment,
in the Past, and Midnitesun is there.
We are in the primitive
year 2004.
She tells me that she loved me
when I came into her life.
and I hold her for a long, long, time.
She turns on a portable to listen.
It is the National Government
Public Television Channel.
I wonder how she gets it.
She doesn't know about the strings, does she?
Then they make an announcement.
Researchers at the National Government Research Center
have just developed a new implant
allowing citizens to hear and watch
The Government Public Television Channel
without being attached to it!
The program signals
by means of this device,
are fed directly into your nervous system.
Instead of listening to
or watching a newscast or a movie,
you actually experience it yourself!
This is a great technological breakthrough,
and a new satellite has been put up.
No longer will people need strings,
implanted up their *********s
for them to connect to the National Government in New York,
or for the National Government to connect to the people!
The string network is to be dismantled.
The National Government in New York
will issue to each citizen a special spray can.
If you see strings lying around,
just spray them,
and they will evaporate into the air.
All citizens
will receive the special implant free
from doctors working
at neighborhood local branches
of the National Government Hospital.
The special implants have a new feature:
The ability to be turned off.
This broadcast originated
from component #4763843927575
of the master National Government Computer
in New York.

LOL, stringin us along, eh?
I had to read this one twice, amigo, and chuckled each time with the imagery.
Had a long tedious day with government red tape, otherwise called official paperwork? LOL.

Just a normal work day at a government office! lol

BTW you better not tamper with those strings. They are there for a reason! ~ and the powers that be don't take kindly to them being removed!
