The Obsidian Theater XII.
You’re all probably wondering why I asked you to come here this evening.
I do not plan to waste any of your time
Regardless if you feel that I do
Now
I’ll get to the point.
But
I’m afraid I don’t have one
And neither do you
Or you
Or you
Or even you
I once spoke to a lopsided journalist who understood what I meant
He once sat where you were sitting and spoke to me in such unique lubricities
I couldn’t help but ponder his underlying tone of voice
A hidden message gargled beneath his throat.
Past the teeth and gums
Sliding down his esophagus and into his stomach
Of voyage of crude judgment on my part
Again
I still haven’t made my point.
But then as I recollect what we’ve just discussed
The point was made
Regardless of what you think
For what I say
Are we confused?
You should be
Because it’s really quite simple
The amount of time you took to read this nonsense is equivalent to the deaths of a handful of people.
Now that’s a lot to think about
But in return many newborns have arrived on this plane of existence
Ready to be embraced by chains and strife
Regardless…
Of where they are
Who they are
No one is born free
We’re all fooled into accepting these rights, or extended privileges
All false
Everything has been orchestrated and arranged to keep your mind in check
How does it feel to be another chuck of human cattle?
Humans are mostly made up of Dark meat
Billions of people have lived and died
Yet
We don’t know them
We don’t remember them
Because of how insignificant their impact was
We only remember a small percentage
A fraction
Because of what they did
Writers
Leaders
Religious figures
Inventors
Artists
Heroes
Lunatics
Monsters
Conspirators
Musicians
Rock stars
Bestsellers
Celebrities
Murderers
Rapists
Hunters
traitors
Predators
Assassins
And their prey
We don’t remember the normal people
Why should we?
It will take on average three generations to forget you after your death.
All that will be left will be a grave and a tombstone
If you’re lucky
Everyone who would’ve known you
Will be dead with you.
Does this depress you?
Does this make sense?
Do you know what I’m talking about?
Did you hear what I said?
Check your ears because no one said a word.
Did you see what I did there?
Check your vision because I didn’t show you anything.
Nobody will
Show you
The truth
You must search for it
And accept the opaque mucus of circuitry and metal
Interwoven through our biological makeup
And
Hardened flesh
Resilient to innocence
But
Empowered by lost negligence
****** into the illusory overindulgence of ignorance,
Racial profiling
Ethnic intolerance
Class segregation
Wars of Naked greed
Pursuits of justifiable genocide and wrath
Condemned and institutionalized by denominations of Christians
Muslims and non-believers
Who claim to act in the will of God
Or the moral benefactor
Of the meat grinder that is
Modern civilization.
All points made and
Explanations aside
I’m glad I wasted your time
Regardless of what you think
And
What I say or do
I’m glad you came by
I wonder how many people died while you read this…
How many were born?
It doesn’t matter I guess
Only a few will care or remember
The same goes for you
Unless you make enough of a significant mark on the world
The same goes for me.
Will God still exist when all the people are gone?
Without humans, there will be no religion
And no war
So where will God be in all this?
Maybe having that knowledge was part of the plan.
Who knows…
Either way, God made a point.

Thank you. You can turn in your notes by Friday. You can submit your question to Tyler Durden in room 099 on Paper Street. I’d like to thank the faculty for arranging this conference. I’d also like to mention the little guys who helped organized this: Flying Teapots, Edith Piaf, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, Jeff Beck, Interview Magazine, Starbucks, Smart Water, mechanical pencils, Terrance Stamp, Spike Lee, Rooney Mara, wax paper, coco jelly beans and of course King Candy.
Until next time.
Until next time.
