the rise (and fall?)
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
