Beneath Skinner, Inner Fascism Poem by Raymond Farrell

Beneath Skinner, Inner Fascism



Forwards or backwards, up or down
Acted upon by stimuli, bounded by each response
And in between, the thoughtless functions of a clown
Performed in a quasi-human gangily black box
Must we be saddled with such simplicity
Our whole world equated with a cooing
Brood of pampered pigeons - preposterous duplicity
Drummed up by a true bird brain.
