Is the world worth saving and what I mean is not the world itself because life will go on without us and arguably much better without us to **** it up but are we as a species worth saving because its becoming harder and harder to argue in our favor as we let love take a side seat and do little more than spectate as we **** our time away and do very little more than fake our good intentions of somehow figuring out a better way and generation after generation just dump the problem to the future of our children's children and it's getting to the point of it's too ******* late anyway so why bother or care and just let our minds atrophy to the indifference of our humanity cause one less mouth to feed is one less mouth to feed and their starving of malnutrition but we're starving for attention and its a me me me first world we're desperate to impress and it's all so ****** sad that it's breaking loves heart as it just sits there and watches as we neglect that its even there and it would be easier if we followed our hearts but happy endings don't make best sellers and isn't a happy ending nothing more than a ***** little secret of a self indulgent metaphor we massage our egos with so we don't need to feel any pressure for the basic needs and rights of everyone to have a little happiness and experience a little love but caring about everyone is too much **** work and there's no profit in equality for all and sure we're all equal but you have to be willingly blind not to see that the rich are more equal than those that we better not mention or we might become something that the rich despise and we have to keep our kings and our queens happy in this world that isn't worth saving but god save the queen so right right and cheerio lets keep marching into war and give the dead a beautiful parade for their efforts and keep the world spinning because death is inevitable and when we're all gone life can get back to letting love do what love does best and maybe then we can finally see what was there all along and as ghosts or as caterpillars or as regret at it's best we can watch love take center stage as the lead actor and singer and dancer and writer and director of all the small things that makes life worth the comedy and tragedy of living and dying on a world worth saving
