The freak and geek manifesto

The freak and geek manifesto

Published: at 05:49 AM

PART I


For the ones who sit at home in front of their computer while their friends are outside being someone they are not


The ones who were last picked in sport until they found the way to skip it


The ones who watch ugly, cold, disgusting things on the internet but still need a hug because they just want to be loved


The ones who pray, even if it does nothing


The ones who pray, because it does something


The ones who don’t like “woman on top” because there’s a woman involved

The good guys who never get the girl


The bad boys who don’t get her either


The ones who don’t have the chance to feel the heat of a body when they’re getting asleep


The quiet one, who is the sweetest, funniest, cutest girl but who never gets a second glance


The ones who got their 18th birthday wished by their mother and automatic emails from amazon and ebay


The ones who reply “Thank you, you too” when the waiter tells “Bon appétit”


The ones who got their high fives ignored


The ones who inherited a body unable to give birth, and whose genitals are an artifact of the past

The ones who act like texting when friends go to the bathroom


The ones who open a chatbox when you’re online but never type anything


The ones whose life is a parade of missed chances and social misfires, hiding behind a mask of happiness


The crippled baby animal with no chance of contributing to the gene pool


For the losers of the galaxy, the freaks and the geeks


For all the ones living in an evolutionary dead end


PART 2


Breeders ! Giant SUV, mortgage and dog !


Breeders ! Wedding photo album, frames on the bookshelf !


Breeders ! Endless production of happy and undomesticated humans, immature midgets !


Breeders ! Children picture as profile picture !


Breeders ! Bronchiolitis !


Breeders ! Nanny, stroller, nursery places !


Breeders ! Self reproducing sources of flesh and meat for humanity since the beginning of times !


Breeders ! Prom queen and team captain in the hatchery from the day the stick hit the fan !


Breeders ! Surrendering at the game of life, hoping their offspring will do better


PART 3


Revolution !


This is a call for all the losers of yesterday, jesters, monsters, deviants, outcasts exiled from the cities ages ago, banished from the everlasting kingdoms of life


Come back for revenge through our voice


We hacked your way out of the evolutionary litter you were put too much time ago


Freaks and geeks connected their dirty intelligences and melted into the hivemind, endlessly flashing silicon and twirling electrons, interconnecting a series of tubes to spread this verse :


O Endless September, O Ides of March


Let the foul witches wake from the dead


Burning the world with their cursing word


Dancing on the grave of the Old Darwin


The name of the game is no longer the survival of the fittest


The insane mens in insano corpore, I call the insane, the fools, the freaks, the creeps, the weirds and the geeks to build, produce and share art, instillate ideas into the innocent flesh beings while their breeders are too busy working and providing food and shelter and consomming what we produce


I can hear the moan of the ones ejected since the days of yore


and the howl of the self dismissed winners of the Darwin awards


They’re with us in twisted poetry


They’re with us in awkward moments


They’re with us when we sabotage our mating chances


They’re with us in freakiness and geekiness


Let them speak through our voice,


Spread their tainted vision through our presence


For the previously excluded from the gene pool deserve a revenge.
