Aren't we
proud of ourselves. The human race has
mastered rationality and
logic; we have successfully applied
science and
natural law. We have
built cities and
processed food, we have
made medicines and even
instantaneous communication anywhere on the planet. As
someone on the street put it, "We're all doing just fine".
Yeah fucking right.
This planet is
overpopulated. We're
raping away our
natural resources because people are
afraid of change and
losing a dollar. We're all
alienated and
frustrated and
lonely because our precious logic
failed miserably to salve our
emotions; the emotions, of course, being
repressed like that, came back and
bit us in our collective ass and now most of the
adult population is no better emotionally than
disturbed children. Our
spirituality went to shit when the
Church figured out how to
turn a buck. Money seems to be the only thing the
world has in
abundance, and yet over 99% of the world's population live
below the poverty line. Whole countries can't eat, and whole other countries obviously
don't care. Our
medicines would be wonderful if you didn't have to be
rich to get them; then again, the whole
human race is being
decimated by the biggest
plague in
recorded history--and most of us don't
pay attention to that either because we're all so
sick of being
hyped at and
lied to that many of us genuinely don't care anymore, as long as we're
finally left alone about it.
The next time I hear
someone say we're all doing fine, I think I shall empty
several clips from a .45 into them. That way they can
die happy, before they actually
figure out what's going on.
