What is happening in the news today? The reality of this situation is capitalism has turned against us and we are fully plugged into the consumerism matrix. Capitalism was suppose to give us prosperity and affluency, but it gave us impulsions and addictions. We are stuck in the simulation of consumption, we consume food, the McD, Cocoa Cola, takeaway, JustEat, you get my drift? Nike Jordans, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, can you see what I'm saying? TV, FOX, Diseny, HBO, Netflix, you feel me knocking? Also we are trapped in a minefield of adverts in outdoor billboards, TV ads and social media advertisement every seconds staring at a phone screen. The chickens have come to roost, after gold was swapped with mortgages to back the currency we use, at this current time and its sinking us.

HAWK & THE NIGHT By Joseph Jedidah The Lil Boots tour bus pulls up outside a 24/7 convenience store late at night. The cold streets lit up by amber beams and a pale moon, a whispering wind subtly floats through the air. Lil Boots, a recording artist signed to Trill entertainment and Pacific Records.

You want some candy girl” replies Boots, “ Yeah I’m feeli...
PIGEON By Joseph Jedidah A split between affluence and poverty, a row of dilapidated buildings positioned opposite luxurious hotels, casinos and restaurants hosting the elites. In a shadowy alleyway, Pigeon, dressed in dark camouflage, climbs up a damaged fire escape on the side of a building. Reaching the top he then grabs hold of a slab and lifts himself onto the roof. Running to the edge of the front, he drops the sports bag down. Opening the bag, pulling out metal pieces, placing them on the ground in an orderly fashion. He easily assembles the pieces to form a rifle, given to him by Mr Bostock. He tucks the buttstock under his left armpit, balancing the nozzle on his right forearm. One eye looking down the scope, with the armed weapon pointing at the entrance of Cesare Palace. Faux golden steps leading up to a long tall door with a triangle point at the top, two thick magenta velvet veils positioned on either side of the door. He sits patiently for hours, anticip...
