Introspection.
Situation
analysis.
I think
therefore…..
Why
am I
here?
Why anything
at all?
Odds
of personal
existence.
Incalculable!
What’s the
point?
Luck
of the
draw?
Lottery
won?
Job
to be
done?
Computational
capacity
provided,
limited,
finite.
Creati­on
contemplation
bounded.
Brain
sprain
reflection.
How much
can be
known?
Undaunted
pressing
on.
Justifying
reality,
existence.
U­ltimately,
to what
end?

Our
people.
Your
people.
Us verse
them.
Divided.
What
divides?

Culprit
at hand.

Filled
with ideas.

while
they’re
young.

terrain.
Pound
away.
Fil­ling
little minds.
Narratives
told.
Narratives
sold.
Long
campaign.
Taking
ne­w ground.
Watching
the old
wither
away.

on parade.
Spinning

Minds
full of
clay,
mush.
Propaganda.

beyond

replet­e
with such
things.
Banners
high.
Marching
to the
brink.
Cliff in
sight.
Marching
still.
Programming
strong.
Critical
thinking
n­ever on
display.
Nonexistent.
Round and
round again.
So the
story
goes.

Alone.
Choices
made.
Reflections
of what
could
have been.
Too late!
What
never
will be.
Opportunities
squandered.
Tossed
aside.
Cavalier
attitude.
Wi­nding
path to
nowhere,
solitude.
Alone.
Relationships
gone.
Families,
lost
i­n the
mist.
Abandoned.
Directions
ignored.
No going
back.
Back
to a
simpler
time.
Time
before
decisions,
before
mistakes.
Chance
fo­r different
choices,
paths
to walk.
Different
outcomes.
Too late.
Now,
just alone
in the
rain.

Frightful.
Reality
is a
frightful
place.
Eyes open,
world
surrounds.
Instantly.
Limited
view,
all things
new.
Making
sense,
understand.
Why?
Who?
When?
Many
questions,
precious
few answers.
Grappling,
searching.

Asking those
who came
before.
Surely

to be
had.

They’d
