A Fear of the Void

Extravagance is characterised by the excessive expenditure of materialistic resources, where those unbridled lusts of the masses have catapulted our anthropological status from an initial experience of innocence and thrust us forth into a debauched state of relativistic and allegedly progressive utopia. Can I now be reborn into unknown astrological pastures of yesteryear, where time and space confine themselves to boundless parameters and cosmological streams trickle beyond black holes? Droplets of our soul are seeping through the cracks of superfluous constellations. Having been admonished to merely adhere to instructions, it is worth giving consideration to the possibility that we may simply lack accurate realisation. Yet, the anatomy of integrity is contextual and is juxtaposed with popular and palatable propagandist dogma. Therefore, although the nature of reality is ever-changing, there is a pattern of non-conforming adherence which spans those artistic ages of presumed literary and oratorical genius. We know that defense mechanisms are dichotomous, as they may ward off personally undesirable experiences – yet they can also inadvertently champion the cause for solitary confinement. As we unwrap this explosive socio-political gift, let us reach across the infinite gap and radically accept the folly of what is deemed to be prestigious. Let us now make a record. Saturn has rings.
