I feel lost in this world of hustling and bustling, to and fro
I can’t keep up with the go go go
I just sit here watching it all transform around me
Entire communities where there once was forest
Can’t go back to my childhood play place
It’s townhouses now
There is no decrepit Elven Playground
Lost in the forest having appeared from who knows where
Years of the elements showing its age
No, it was torn down along with the trees
I didn’t get to see the teeter totter tree slowly rot away and return to the Earth
Leaving that poor tree that bore her to finally rest
There are no streams in river
Trickles of water here and there
Always heading to the pond
Yet a pond it stayed
Until they drained it
These transformations in the name of human gain
Only for the houses they built to skyrocket in price and suddenly it’s the rich that live here
And the poor should just leave
So they are, good luck
This progress
This ever achieving more, and more
Exponentially
As if our achievements are the Universe themself, expanding ever outward
Neverending
It ends
Everything has a limit
You fly to it
Then decend
If we managed a certain height throughout we’d achieve more than a desperate bought for the top does
The burst
The burn out
Every bubble bursts
I don’t know where we’ll be when the Universe does but here?
I can see and feel the limit
We’ve reached it and they’re still pushing
This funneling of cash upwards
If we’re not at the breaking point now we will be in a few years
God I hope someone wakes the fuck up before that happens
I don’t know
Someone who can actually rally people to a cause
What’s the good of being awake if it’s just to stay here and see things steadily getting worse?
Why can’t I experience the anaesthesia that the masses are on?
Steady my thoughts and just ignore it so I don’t see it coming
Can’t see my own future, but humanity’s?
How to create something else
I don’t know
To blindly believe in the good, when I’ve been shown so much of the bad
You ask for it
Over and over
Belief of the future
It’s all going so much faster than me
I am but a broken shell containing a frazzled and stressed out spirit
My ability is not controlled by belief
I need a right hand
I always feel like that’s just the wrongest term and I hate it
仲間が必要ね?
Ah these words we use that don’t convey all the things we want to say
If only I could know every language ever spoken and have a word for everything at once
I don’t know why you encourage me, I go at such a slow pace
Everything is changing around me
While I feel I stay the same.
