Tempus Edax Rerum ….in the meantime

There is trash here, trash on our beaches
in our bodies

on our minds

sediment in our hearts.

All we see, breath, and take in is polluted, being fed to us like pigs to the slop in every way imaginable.

Hormones in our food (eat more, be bigger, CONSUME)

Pop up advertisements on our web pages (buy buy , bigger bigger , flash flash !)

Commercials soiling our already soiled television shows ( we now return you to your regularly programmed shite)

The meat we eat, tainted with chemicals. Not the mention torture and pain, the produce isn’t much better (eat your veggies kids!)

The air around me buzzes with smog, invisible poisons that I couldn’t name, and never mind spell if you had a gun to my head (which, there really kind of is).

What is sacred anymore? What is immune? Nothing, nothing is sacrosanct to society anymore. You would be foolish to think otherwise. We seemed to have misplaced the ability to respect anything, especially ourselves.

We are Natures teenage middle class, over privileged snotty kid. Angry and destructive for no good reason, unable to focus on the brilliance that just IS.

I can feel the stare, the gaze my reflection returns from cold glass eyes; asking “Well what makes YOU so different then? Miss All knowing, Miss Wisdom?”. My answer pains me, but I knew it far before my glassy friend asked. I am no different, and if I am it’s miniscule. My curse, or my blessing (it works both ways), is the awareness that most people repress. Observation and attentiveness to detail, I am in fact unable to turn it off, I have tried on many occasions. I am aware of my faults, and humanities faults we share;

Lethargy

Self doubt

EGO

All fueled by fear, like some fucked up head case lowrider tricked out to royally screw myself and anyone I hold dear. That doesn’t matter though right? Because damn it looks fine.

I find it pathetic, our individual and shared dilemmas are more often than not quite simple to solve, SIMPLE. Although again please don’t confuse simple, with easy. Our culture thrives on doing what is easy. It is very easy to let our emotions control us, easy to be led like starved cattle by our egos.

It’s simple to eat better, love better, live better. To quell that arrogant pimple faced child inside of us, and just live life as it should be; with respect for whats been given to us, respect for our bodies and souls.

Purge the trash you and I spout to each other, and speak the truth. Quit speaking from behind smoke screens and just practice truism; despite our boundless fear of it. Purge the adversion to fact, we are killing our future, our childrens future, our mother planet. We are fucking up big time and it would be so

simple

just

to

stop

Simple. Stop. Breath. See. Taste. Love. Live. Start again, mind clear and fog lifted. So very simple, yet so incredibly despondent.
