Its been awhile


A neglected blog is often very quickly forgotten.

The air forsakes us, much like an aborted child given way of free choice.

I say to you this, and I promise you: live once in the shoes of the destitute in the arid, dissolving cactus of abandonment and tell me why you continue the obsessive compulsion to complain? You have a headache, they have starvation. You have a half-cooked meal, they have none.
Yet you continue to lament?

We lament that we have no shoes until we meet a man with no feet. Realization is abhorrently empty without self-actualization and the desire to rectify and embrace.

We travel the road of convenience - cowardice and dismissive of the thorns that pricked our forefathers. Fighting for the sanctity of religion yesteryear; now we quarrel over rights of homosexuals. Is there no shame?

We continue to be the music we hear, the television we watch, the things we eat and the things we own. Assimilation by virtue of progressive pop culture; now the onus is on losing virginity rather than acquisition of social and moral responsibilities.

Intelligent thought is subjugated to defeatism and cynical surrender. Our thoughts belie our nature, but yet conform to collectivism. Packaged to behave in a certain way;

*(disconnected)*

with core issues.

Our opinions are fuelled by misplaced preconceptions: unfounded biases used to project our versions of what we believe to be true- yet knowing how horribly false we all are.

Light is everywhere, yet we choose to be enshrouded in darkness.

The air forsakes us, much like an aborted child given way of free choice.

A neglected blog is often very quickly forgotten.
