We were formed out of csmic dirt  and  brutalised in Eden

Thrust into our fear of the dark

Flung out naked screaming into life
With weak bones
Sulphuric acid as blood
And fingers shaped with our broken teeth

Terrorised by our own heartbeats
We clawed at our chests to fling back bleeding life

Suffocated in breath
And cowered in mortal fear of aliveness
Eventually we stumbled to our feet

And  roared

Beating at our chests and spitting hatred 

We turned on the weaker 'other'  

Intent on killing 

To perpetuate the brutality of creation

anna  - beyond healing   |2008-04-10 23:08:56 We certainly seem to excel at violence and destruction and I can relate to the brutality of being wrenched into existence and I definitely empathise with the feral of this world.

Anonymous   |2008-04-11 00:05:11 what you see is what you get with the feral...

Vinny   |2008-04-11 04:28:16 The feral get such a bad rap. I appreciate the feral because they are so intuituve about maintaining boundaries at all times. Sure, you can say that they're not the most adaptable lot, but I've never met a feral creature that was an energy vampire.

Devon   |2008-04-11 05:50:39 nobody wants to deal with the excessive demands of others, feral or not, I think everyone has had a taste of the sulphuric acid syndrome, BUT, it all comes back to adaptability, most people, even those in completely dire situations do find a way to adapt to the burden of being alive, it is a skill to tell yourself lies that everything is ok down here in the hell realm. Look around, most people have mastered the great disconnect, except for you guys. It can be done though, and hey, at least you guys aren't all bummed out that God doesn't care.

jean   |2008-04-11 10:34:26 " the feral .. are so intuituve about maintaining boundaries at all times" yes, feral creatures cant survive without boundaries, they require safety and structure in everything they do There is no cure for the feral, they are almost another species who find living amongst us toxic

d   |2008-04-11 15:04:22 Getting on in life in the straightforward materially successful way certainly does require one to be an adept and efficient juggler but i also agree with redstarfist, sociology classes should have more to say about the feral, i think the education system and other social institutions could also benefit from looking at ways to better interact with feral people be they kids or adults, as i think they have a unique contribution to make too.

bjorn   |2008-04-11 15:15:20 you may be interested to know that i just googled feral people and didnt get much, googling feral children returns lots of hits for the famous few cases of kids raised by or alledgedly raised by animals but there does seem to be very little research in this area and it cant be just a question of the term feral being misapplied here as its in usage within the culture to broadly describe what we are discussing here. bjorn admin

d   |2008-04-11 15:46:32 so why not use feral in meta tags for blogs?

bjorn   |2008-04-11 18:30:59 wikipedia documents interesting usage of feral specific to Australia that has feral used 1. as perjorative term almost identical to 'trailer trash' 2. to describe subcultural post punk squatter/environmentalist fringe group equivalent to UK/US urban 'Travellers' or hardcore 'New Agers'. I'll post link in a bit as i think we can /should contribute to that wiki bjorn admin

admin #2   |2008-04-12 16:55:35 you're right Devon, we're not all bummed out that God doesn't care....and the master of puppeteers can't be anything but grateful for that.
