Anatomy of a Firebug

by @TheJester

I have aggression inside me. Have you ever wanted to watch the world burn? I mean really burn, not some small cinders, but a real bonfire. I'm sick of being sick, I'm tired of being tired and I'm tired of being so fucking passive. Six months into 2020 and here are some highlights Remember when Australia was on fire? Murder hornets? The Russian Oil Spill in the Arctic Several cases of police brutality resulting in murders The Hong Kong protests both volumes Now fucking squirrels have been found in Colorado with the Bubonic Plague. Another strain of Swine flu was found in China that was transmutable to humans and contained traces of the former swine flu covid-19 The covid-19 protests. Floods in February Part of the United States is undergoing a record heat wave Parts of India and Africa had to deal with record swarms of locusts The second we stopped the lockdown in the states we went right back to mass shooting Donald Trump Do I need to go on? I'm tired of this high road passive nonsense.     I know violence isn't the answer but do you want makes the lions, tigers, apes, hog and antelope gather together? Fire. If the conservatives, liberals, Christians, Muslims, Pagans and Satanists, Vegans and Carnivores, Karens, Kens, If the right and the left can't meet in the middle, Fuck em. Let it burn. Why do you always have to stick your nose in other people's business? The boys shouldn't be so proud and admit that they're western fascism, ANTIFA need to become organized so they can control their message. If they can't, fuck em. Let it burn. I want fires as high as Heaven, I want Roger Stone behind bars and serving his full sentence and I want the names that Epstein and Maxwell have, and she better not commit death by cop. I want people to wake up and understand we're fucking ourselves up and proving why we're the worst species. Otherwise, Let it burn. I'll strike the match, I'll pour the gasoline, I'll start the fire because if that will bring us together, at least we'll be united on something. Anger is an energy and right now I'm feeling like Chernobyl at 1:22 am. I want fire, I want ash to rain from the sky and black out the blue, give me constituency or give me the torch, you want an eternal flame? I'll let it burn for the Gods. I have this anger in my heart, I have to act like this is all ok, because if I don't, if I voice this shit I come off as the crazy one. Fine by me, if you want me to crazy at least call me an arsonist. Burn baby burn, Your systems are weak, your tiktoking your life away, you're reading too many faces and it's not even a good book you chose to reread, this is the worst high school reunion disaster movie you can think of. At this point I'm walking the line of "fuck you all" and "I want to see you saved" I'm feeling like G.G. Allin and Jesus Christ had a son. When this place burns to the ground and you're left walking through the smolders and remains don't come crying to me because I''ve done all my crying and now I just want to watch your punk ass burn. I want to explode, I want to detonate. Blow this joint sky high and say "Goddamn that was fun and thanks for the memories" I'm walking the line of classically happy and cynically depressed. You people have exhausted me, the anti- vaxers who'd rather listen to their hearts and highschool minds compared to experts in the field, You'd rather listen to "Dave, some 52 year old neighbor" as opposed to the CDC because you don't trust them, yet you have a social media page where you bleed your heart out? Makes sense right? You're as dense as these flat earth fucks, I'd love to see you be tossed on the pile. Hurting public discourse? Take the guillotine or bonfire, it doesn't matter to me, you're hurting the majority and further hindering the minority, add some fuel to the fire and contribute you oxygen stealing gene pool mistake. I dream of fire, I dream of smoke, I dream of ash, cinder, smolder and choke. Let's hit the restart button, hell is freezing over anyway but hey, global warming is a myth right? Again, I'm not so proud of you boys, let the women make their minds up about their bodies and roles in the work force and home. Strike a match, sing a song and get low because like 1984 the firemen and we're not just burning Milo books. So here I end my anger, because I've gassed myself out but I'm sure tomorrow the tank will be full again, after all anger is an energy and thanks to this bullshit I have a seemingly unlimited supply.
