All I see before me is a fetid landscape of doomed souls From the effervescent innocence of a glistening newborn To the impetuous adolescent, entangled in their irrelevant problems Lingering is the rancid smell that incessantly itches my nose, making my face shrivel with disgust, loathing the stench of seven billion multiplying bodies awaiting their time to rot. This fatal malediction is inevitable, yet we passionately resist with futile actions Playing god with our machines, frantically hoping they will keep us alive, begging for the extension of our due date When truly, they just enervate our capacity to enjoy the time bestowed upon us Only a blink Life is the longest thing we will ever experience Unless a revelation occurs, unless we let go absolutely, Unless we surrender We will simply remain the malcontent children of calamity, Fueling the fire to our own demise.
