The
world is spoiled and cannot be redeemed
piecemeal by liberal or green do-goodery. Graphs
grow
exponentially, earth
performs its great strip-tease, and for a finale
will
disappear up its own backside
with quite astonishing ease, to the applause
of
constant economic growth. False Christs
queue at McDonalds; the elect
wander
in the myths of Sunday colour magazines
reading of earthquakes and rumours of wars
in
which the disarmed ideologies embrace
beneath the icons of material prosperity—this
abomination
that
brings desolation, this god of matter
to whose altar we have been dragged smiling to be
sacrificed.
