A HOUSE FOR PUSSY RIOT
No doubt it would be an irreverent house.
And a house that no doubt would irritate Kirill I, Patriarch of Moscow and all the Rus …. The very man whose Breguet Swiss gold watch (worth 20,000 British pounds) was seen in a reflection in a polished table, while it was removed from his wrist, in the very same image, by Photoshop techniques, probably…
So who are the accusers…?
Who are the stone throwers…?!?
Yes, the PUSSY RIOT irritated the Russian Church when it performed at the altar of The Church of Christ the Savior in Moscow… it was considered sacrilegious… especially since the word “shit” replaced the word “holy,” in their invocations. And, more importantly, perhaps, when they asked for Putin to be chased out…
Yes, the pudicity of religion, at the expense of truth, is well known.
Yes, we need CLEANNESS.
No shit, no cursing, no anger.
No anger motivated by political discontent.
We must continue to smile, even in the face of injustice, to have our tearful eyes oriented towards the heaven, and heaven alone, as a compensation for a life of misery, here on earth.
So let us allow Kirill I to continue to wear his beloved golden Breguet watch, while invoking “high values.”
Yes, let us continue the hypocrisy and punish the nay sayers that are so very uncomfortable to us.
Let’s imprison the girls of PUSSY RIOT, let them become old in a cell, let them learn…!!!!!!!!!!!
Let them learn that those who wear golden watches do have the power to condemn and imprison.
Let’s try to design A HOUSE FOR PUSSY RIOT.
A house that takes risks.
A house that is not afraid of those who wear golden watches, while claiming serving “higher values.”
Let’s tell the truth, even if this truth is shitty.
Shitty.
Shit is banished from the pious language. Its reality is hard to swallow, indeed. It is not pure. It is heavy, smelly, dirty and “obscene.” It is not shinning, like the above mentioned golden watches.
Maybe we should design TWO houses: one for the PUSSY RIOT and one for KIRILL I. Maybe facing each other, on the same street, or somewhere else…
It is up to you.
