A nightmare

Sadly, the water hoses of the righteous cannot extinguish the flames of apathy that engulf the masses. This is no hopeful message. No, it is a message, or more precisely a realization that the masses have be effectively dis-engaged. That most cannot see beyond their ambition for the good life. So, any conversation about how these individualistic dreams will fail to exist in the midst of a crumbling empire are ignored. The screams of the righteous strategically muzzled. So we hear no noise, other than the manufactured noises meant to stifle critical thinking. Critical thinking has no place in a society with microwavable attention spans. Misery spans the globe, but most refuse to think in those terms. So we've reached the doorstep of destruction on corporate terms. Their profits remain untouched while we remain untouched by the latest tragedy. It's a tragedy the way our humanity has been effectively ravaged systemically destroyed. So again, this is no hopeful message. Simply a realization that most will continue pursuing individualistic dreams while the world is set in a nightmare.
