it is so bad
I don’t even want

to take sides anymore
I don’t want to

believe in any
of them and

I never really have

I want to believe
in our system

that it will be
bigger than any

one human

every human is
biased and
potentially corrupt

(the truth about us
humans cannot be
avoided)

but maybe together
we can create

something that
checks our

most base instincts
(to self-preservation)

and maybe
it can last

and that is the

basis of our
system

to help us check
each other and

ourselves

but check is
an action

and if it does
not occur

(if people don’t
perform their roles)

then why does
it matter

what was
all of this

for

has the grand
experiment

failed in the end
