Elucidating Questions

I am so tired all the time

It feels like I’m carrying the weight of the world at all times

I want history to undo itself

For thousands of years of struggle and pain under the rich folk to be stopped before it started

All just a sick little song and dance while they play

More, more, more

And they think I’m taking too much

But there’s a trillionaire

That shouldn’t be a word

I wish it would burst already

The squeeze is only bothering those who didn’t have enough air to begin with

It’s just more people are realising that they don’t have enough

They don’t realise it was never enough and that it was never going to be enough in their quest for more

Pacified people

Content to consume content

I can’t feel calm

Calm was a me long ago

I disproved the “if you die in your dreams you die in real life” thing the other night

I dreamt I was in a dining room with some people

And then there was a collective gasp from people looking out the window

And then I saw rockets falling and one hit into the house through what I recognised as the kitchen

And it blew up

And I just felt this resigned sadness

As fire engulfed me

It was fucked up and I can’t stop reliving it

The difference between the “peace” I observe and the war I saw is luck of the draw

Someone else could have just as easily been sitting in this seat while I was in a warzone

Circumstance

War should be obsolete

The exploitation of the populace

So that a village of people can have a good time

You expect me to believe one person can produce enough worth in society to be worth billions of times more than the rest of the population?

They called me The Fool but at least

At least come up with something good to fool me with

People say I need help

Meanwhile it’s apparently acceptable enough to be worth billions more that the people haven’t just divested themselves of him

I read all these dystopian novels in my teens

I always wondered what could have possibly happened that humanity would allow this

How could they have come to live in pod cities with a super computer running their lives?

How did they get to the point where everyone lived in primly managed communities with no contact with the outside world?

Being exterminated in their “old age” because they were no longer useful?

But this world would see its first trillionaire elected head of the Earth and they’d still go to work just like the day before

It’s like they’re hypnotised by society

Being one person sucks

Being completely ineffectual sucks

I want them all to eat like poor people for a year before we kick them off the iceberg into the frozen seas

Humanity may be the cancer on this Earth at the moment but it could be the caretaker

I’m so sick of people acting like it has to be this way

Universe of infinite possibilities where we can leave our planet and go to the Moon, but daren’t we take care of our populace before hand

It truly astounds me what humans are capable of and what they refuse to be capable of

It boggles my mind the heights humanity will reach and what it refuses to reach for

Yes, we can sustain life in space

No, we can’t sustain life on our planet
