Brain
Thank you, brain (I know that you can read my thoughts) for
having guided me, with the light of your electromagnetic
language, through the dreams and nightmares of my Homo
Sapiens life.
Armando A. Molina
Thank you, Armando, for being the eloquent interlocutor who
saves me from the peril of losing my thoughts in the void of a
monolog.

Can the human primates truly be free while they live to pay
tribute to the State and the Church and die in conformity with
their dogmas?
If you believe that you are free, what are the conditions that
enable you to act freely: the atom, metabolism, awareness, your
will, the army, the Constitution, money, orgasm, God,
superstition, or the death penalty?

As the working class women, the working class men are also
the prey that the patriarchy needs to consume to sustain itself.
The capitalist patriarchs exploit them until their exploitation
ceases to turn a profit. After that, they dispossess the workers
of their livelihood and push them in the hell of unemployment,
drug addiction, domestic violence, homelessness, prostitution,
and suicide. Not even serving as the cannon fodder in their
wars can save the producers of the nations wealth, which the
patriarchy steals, from the madness and the ruin caused by the
Statesmen, the Clergymen, and the Military men who are the
patriarchys Guardians, Judges, and Executioners.

The barons stole the sons from their mothers to form the
generations of Purple Heart Patriots. They now live in the
catacombs of the Great Warrior State, identified with a sign
that reads homeless veteran.

Armed with the illusion of the only true faith in the only true
God, the Church captures the believers minds, charges them
tribute for protecting them from God's wrath, and hands them
over to the capitalist class. They put the yoke on their necks,
with the power of the State and their proclamation of trust in
God, to exploit them, and steal the product of their
exploitation.

I have two arteries, filled with warm and fertile blood, which I
could open to paint the reason of the avenues that the Imperial
State built to celebrate the Robber Barons victories in the oil
wars. In those lonely spaces, inspired by military brutality, the
soldiers march with a firm conviction to fight the wars that
their predecessors did not end. Their command is the same as
it ever was: defend the honor of the feudal lord and
demonstrate courage in the carnage that is the ultimate sacrifice
required by God and the State.

Thinking above the surface of the skin and outside the vortex
of desire, the human primates can build a shield of wisdom to
protect each other from the toxic effects that the activity of the
selfish neuron causes.

Notes from My Mobile Brain
The word God remains a word even after the inventors of its
connotation adorn it with divine properties to sell it in the faith
market as the name of a real superior being who is the creator
of the inferior human being. They disguise themselves as
agents of the power that they associate with the word to create
the impression, before the hopeful spectators, that they are not
primates, but a privileged caste of prophets. The root of faith
Page 57
Humberto Gmez Sequeira-HuGS
Like the word gold, the word God does not have a meaning or
value. The madmen who proclaim to be the words agents
attempt to paint it with a certain sense using gold to adorn their
banality and build the objects that they use to create the
impression of their divinely hollow power.
The word monkey has a true meaning because its root is life,
which is an event that continues to evolve from the chemistry
of the Earth. God cannot serve as the sense of the animal that
evolved into the conscious agent of the chemical reactions
composed by its brain under the influence of nature.

Notes from My Mobile Brain
In the election process, the wage slaves are the objects of the
illusionsfaith, patriotism, democracy, and fear of the
foreign enemywith which the masters candidates guide
them to vote against themselves. Their acceptance of said
illusions in exchange for their real interestsfreedom,
equality, justice, peace, and prosperityis the reason they
entrust their claims to the masters business agents. In return
for their trust, their class enemies use their votes as the
weapons that the masters use to fight against them for the
absolute control of the State. The emotional dependence on
the State, as the protective Uncle Sam, has enabled the masters
to fuse the wage slaves interests with capitalism, totalitarian
democracy, and the for-profit wars.
Page 79
Humberto Gmez Sequeira-HuGS
The wage slaves do not oppose their fusion with the masters
who consume them and discard them. They support the
masters political parties and labor unions that cultivate their
bondage. In the political warfare for the power of the State, the
exploited do not differentiate themselves from the exploiters
with their political party, program, or anthem. Adversely, they
participate in the election as patriots of the country that the
masters pillage, and vote for the candidates who embody their
corruption.
Page 81
Humberto Gmez Sequeira-HuGS
The wage slaves who participate in the election that the masters
control contribute to the maintenance of the State as the
masters scepter. Submitting to the restrictionsof life, liberty,
and justicethat the State imposes on them, they defeat
themselves as the subjects of the revolution that they need to
make and continues to be the requirement for their
emancipation. So too they negate that the masters are their
enemies (not their kinfolk) whose only purpose is to exploit
them to convert their energy into surplus value.

The Ending Note
I was born from an unconscious explosion of desire. I will
die when the conscious air consumes my fire.
A Note to the Other
Waiting in the Future
You, the one in the now, are caught in the agitation of the
circumstances that you generate with your struggle to stay
erected to contain the disintegration of the institutions of your
pleasures.
You are the other who is waiting in the future for the atomic
remains of your reactions to your self-induced illusions of
emotional permanence in the constant motion of space-time.
Epilogue
I devoted the bloom of my affections to the cultivation of pure
disdain for the value of living in conformity. Like a falcon,
inflamed with intention, perched on a high electrical wire, I
exposed the reason for my skepticism of the canons of the
militarized order. In the court of the oracles that dictate the
infallible sentences of liberty, I revealed the conspiracy of piety
and power. And I danced for the revival of intellectuality, with
the magic mushroom in my head, until the flower of my ideal
began to dissipate within the light cycles of the infinite mind.

About the Author
1. I Who I Am
I am a Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) specimen who evolved
on Earth from star dust and bacterium, approximately, 3
billion years ago. Life and the law of natural selection
transformed my ancestors into Homo Erectus. Led by their
curiosity about themselves and the universe, they created fire
and the first tools of cognition. The intellect that they
developed and transferred to my genes transformed me into a
Homo Sapiens. When my curiosity is stimulated, I can
ratiocinate, discern, and laugh, para-normally in the dark, like a
child entrapped by his fascination with dementia.
About the Author
2. Birth
My mother told me that she gave birth to me in the
room where she lived with my older brother, Franklin
Bartolom Gmez Sequeira, in the Santa Luca ghetto of the
City of Granada, Nicaragua, Central America. Her neighbor
gave her first aid until my maternal grandmother, Dolores
(Mama Lola) Lacayo de Sequeira, arrived and helped her
deliver me. At midday, I came out of her uterus yawning and
hungry. My Mama Lola severed my umbilical cord and buried
it in a hole in the Earth, without a marker, on March 12, 1949.

For us, the kids who were studying at the Padre Misieri
Elementary Schoolwhich was a neighbor of the train

evolved in the imagination of humanity. It stimulated our joy
when we heard the sound of its whistle, and the roar of its
engine announcing its return from Corinto.
