go ahead, you,
ignore the facts - avoid the truth.
you are not alone in doing so… you are simply repeating history.
if you could accept reality that's the last reality you'd accept. no matter if it came first
and a winter could have killed them then but now
we have central heating and atom bombs and the only thing that can hurt us
is ourselves
.
and that… that
is one thing we are not afraid to do.
to feed each other is beyond us but not pushing each other towards the cliffs
impersonal self-annihilation disguised as progress
how much longer can we hold onto our illusions of comfort? of pleasantry? of hope?
i do not believe in hope when you and i are involved
just another myth
.
we are cruel.
we are heartless, selfish, greedy, mean.
we have deluded ourselves into a black hole, we are old, we are dead.
but you, be glad, you, that when we finally defeat ourselves it will not be without
taking everything else down with us
every plant and animal that could have lived if we had not been there
you human, you.
you human.
