illegal raves

i know it was a long time ago, so long ago that it feels like another incarnation, but such fun was had, such ground covered, psychologically, spiritually, chemically!!!!!i am talking about the free raves of the late 80s and early 90s, i am talking of that moment when one witnessed a tribe of humans united and moving to the trance beat like a unified shoal of fish or flock of birds. cyber shamans, magicians! i remember the police choppers overhead, the tribal faces, the spirals, the energy. i can see why they stopped them even though i wish they hadnt, surely these colourful events were prefferable to the drunken anarchy we witness in cities today, was it worth it government people? was it worth spoiling the party for the sake of fear and control? are your dreams really so dull......cctv, fear, restriction, monitoring, is that all you are about? why? what is the point! are you scared? no, i really want to know what makes you tick! but i know youre not gonna tell me! dont be frightened to free your mind, and revel in the spirit, no matter what you have done or how twisted you have become, there is always a way back, a ship will always come and look for you...........out in the hopeless wastelands of that path you followed!
