Zombies, vampires, Frankenstein’s monster but never soylent green: A study of the silent gothic lives of us all
They do not need air to breathe. They do not consume food products. Many people think of them as essential to vibrancy of the nation, and few recognize that they siphon energy, ideas and health from their employees. They create pollution in all forms often without being held accountable because there is no real way to hold them accountable. Even though they have been granted the protections of the 14th Amendment and are considered as “people” under the law, they could produce soylent green but never actually be soylent green.
Perhaps the easiest way to think of these monstrosities (For what else would you call something manmade that cannot be killed and is powered by electricity like Shelley’s Frankenstein monster?), would be to think of them as a zombie-vampire hybrid. Like zombies, these creatures give off a stench that is powerful and deadly; however, like vampires, some find them to be intimately attractive, and these poor souls, drawn like moths to a flame, find themselves being sucked dry of their lives piece by piece and day by day weakening them, their ties to society and the family structure while the vampire gets stronger.
Certain stakeholders could kill them or their polluting and dehumanizing practices, but that would require the stakeholders to band together and change the law that requires these unliving entities to create profit. However, there is no way to decapitate, imprison or impose any sort of physical restraint for wrong doing. The best that can be done is to dissolve them under the light of truth by exposing their wrongdoings and hoping that some government agency has the ability to levy fines large enough to kill the beast.
While moviegoers are busy satiating their appetites for the undead, they have not realized that those of the unlife have already taken over the world. People have become like the zombie ants of Brazil controlled by fungi, but instead of having joy in what they do, they are required to fulfill the needs of that which flourishes in the dark and hope that those needs do not intrude on a life already cut short by the demands of the unlife.
