Mar 2016
it's been quite some time now since I've seen the world smile
all I see is corruption and everyone living in denial
there is so much negativity surrounding me
what the **** is up with this world
they keep asking me
we need a more rational approach to adopt in the face of the human condition
instead of the need of needlessly perpetuating our species and spreading the misery
death and destruction seems to be the answer
we might as well make our brief time as existent beings as bearable as possible with the proviso that we don't inflict any unnecessary harm on others
somewhere between these two positions is the best pragmatically speaking
we should not flinch away from recognizing this if we had boundless respect for the integrity of truth
