By the grave of Dan, Duke and Don We stand and stare and mourn And recall the tale of the loss Of our dear illustrious sons Who died in the hands Of three hideous devils, With faces like that of angels. The first wicked beast, Bore the name Sex, And went to Dan as a sweet Gentle evening breeze, He left him with a gift: A harmless longing for skirts, That landed dear Dan in the hands Of dirty, despicable lasses, Until he got sick and thin And drew his last breathe. The Second monster Whose name was Money Visited Don in his needy moments, And turned him into a monument A hunter of silver and diamond. Whose only goal was gold In whose eyes, God, and laws Had neither weight nor form He gambled away his soul Betted away his dear life.

Dear humanity, How did we get to this point? How did we, great humanity, suddenly become slaves to insects and germs? Are we no longer gods and demigods, and lords and overlords?

We can pretend for a moment that this is nothing, and that this, if it is anything, has nothing to do with us, that whatever the “people of the world” decide to do with their rotten lives is none of our business; but it is not their lives they are playing with, it is our lives. And in the end, this very “business” of technocrats and bureaucrats, which looks far away from us, will become everyone’s business. Whatever blessing or curse lies ahead of us, shall be shared equally to all. We may not know all that 5G is and isn’t, but we know enough to talk about it: we know of its scientific grandness, we’ve heard that it is like heaven on earth, we know that it’s over twenty, perhaps fifty times, maybe a thousand times better than anything we’ve ever known or heard about.
