Elucidating Questions

I wonder if the Aztecs were on to something

That we have to make human sacrifices to the gods

Not in an “let’s make human sacrifices” way

But in an

Aren’t we already, every day, all over the world, making human sacrifices to appease our new world gods?

Cash and CEOs

Do you think they make those choices because some ancient Aztec was right and they just haven’t told us so?

If not then aren’t they just evil themselves?

Boom, dead

Replaced

With a bonus of dead citizens’ blood

Thousands of dollars to catch a guy who killed one guy

Fuck

Well they’re absolutely adamant that they’re the ones whose blood needs protecting

And then we just lock up anyone who felt united by the plea

I didn’t want to die

It was him or me and them

If only righteousness made waves

Of course they only report what they want us to hear

I forget the majority of the world is not in the internet

I have no idea what the outside is like

Now how many gunned down children is a CEO worth?

The real questions

Not the answers though

This caste system they claim doesn’t exist

If some guy killed me tomorrow they probably wouldn’t even take enough time to investigate to find out I’m non-binary

They charged my ex with assault because I didn’t do them the favour of dying when he tried to kill me

So there was no proof

You hear stories?

Ah, yeah, the police couldn’t do anything

So while they’re peppering POC with bullets

Counting the bodies of children shot by others, shootings they just can’t stop apparently

They still have time to make sure an old white man CEO gets justice

How touching

Is there a word for this level of depravity?

I wonder when the wolves are coming

We could use a god that can actually be a person for a moment and not just push but punch us into the right direction

Of course that’s not how gods work

So many other things to worry about in this world than what the stupid humans are doing

You think they would want to save us?

I was craving more

Guillotines

And rich people being separated from their heads

Ah well

My CEO didn’t have to worry about affording the heart medications that make it possible for him to work this week

Though I know my story is not unique to any other employee

School shootings don’t make me sad now

No, they enrage me

You’ve had the warning occur over and over and over again

That guns need to be addressed

But, no, man hunts for CEOs instead

I am exhausted and sick and probably going through withdrawal from a medication I stopped taking because I’m sick and tired of taking 5 medications that each make things a tiny bit better

I’m so done with how bad at caring humans are

There’s some good ones, but, damn

Watching it all continuing to go to hell

It is the end of the world

They just don’t see it because it’s happening right in front of them
