Topic: Jim Morrison
The following was written by Jim Morrison and published in 1971 in "The Lords and the New Creatures."
It reminds me of ideas discussed at this forum.
------------
The Lords. Events take place beyond our knowledge
or control. Our lives are lived for us. We can
only try to enslave others. But gradually, special
perceptions are being developed. The idea of the
“Lords" is beginning to form in some minds. We
should enlist them into bands of perceivers to
tour the labyrinth during their mysterious nocturnal
appearances. The Lords have secret entrances,
and they know disguises. But they give themselves
away in minor ways. Too much of glint in the eye.
A wrong gesture. Too long and curious a
glace.
The Lords appease is with images. They give us
books, concerts, galleries, shows, cinemas.
Especially the cinemas. Through art they confuse
us and blind us to our enslavement. Art adorns
our prison walls, keeps us silent and diverted
and indifferent.
