Gathering
Man’s primal instinct
was not the hunting instinct
in ancient times
before man had spears and weapons
he roamed the prairies
and he was gathering!
he was gathering roots
and he was gathering fruits
and eggs and nuts
and selfdead animals
I
the modern man
I can feel how the primal man breaks forth
when I race with the cart
and I gather and gather and gather…
At the protests in down town Reykjavík last saturday a person climbed up onto the parliaments roof to raise the Bonus flag. A symbol for Iceland’s international business hybris. In the introduction to Bonus Poetry on this web I wrote this last year: “Bonus is Iceland’s largest supermarketchain. It has an appealing logo, a pink grinning pig on yellow background. Many people think the logo should become our national flag. Starting with Bonus an empire emerged: Baugur group, now owning half of UKs retail stores and the crown jewel of the Danish merchant empire: Magazine du Nord.” So now you see how it would look like as a national flag.
Now with added material! 33% more!
