expose, v.t. (F. exposer) To deprive of concealment; to discover; to lay open to public inspection, or bring to public notice.
Hope and promise are drowned in the black flood-waters of New Orleans and the churning concrete of expansion. The underclass is force-fed to the grinding machines of progress. Youth are slashed to ribbons by poverty.
Autocratic governments sell addiction to the masses to numb them into complacency. Shopping sprees and material excess are the new cults. Reality television microwave brains into plastic-left-on-the-heater mush.
Liberation is a price only a few are willing to pay.
Here, in these pages, the smog had cleared just a bit, we’re cut wide open like a vivisection and our dirty insides are on display.
