anybody fails to see
what this life can provide
for the wapping spring
a thin layer of dust
unbreathable scions
made by racist leaders
sewing forever
in eternity their mass grave
we sleep dreaming of becoming
the astronauts and warriors
social influencers idled
a raisin crunch sausage
sleeping soundly

civilization declined?

I must be getting old and turning into a pessimistic codger. Everything post-modern is becoming increasingly dreary to me. Perhaps these eyes are just finally losing the rosy tint and gaining access to the truth? Or perhaps I have weakened, allowing my resolve to crumble into forlorn despair. I see ever-encroaching signs of a decaying Western canon no matter where I look.

9. "People cannot stand too much reality." – Carl Jung

   
   Too much Reality

Blood in the Machine

Blood in the Machine article by Tani Bellestri about the unbelievable consumerism death of a Walmart employee on Black Friday.

Walmart Crime Report This has also been all around. If you haven't seen it yet check it out. The one in my city in Rhode Island has no data. I guess we have no crime? WRONG. Some scam artist(s) sieged our Walmart for several hours last year. The insane party threatened a bomb hostage situation. It certainly made the papers. Why didn't this make the crime report!? They made out with thousands of dollars stolen from Walmart. They closed the town for like 4 hours and we thought all hell was breaking loose.
