04 - Everybody Here's Getting Stupider by John Ludi published on 2020-03-29T16:51:55Z So it's come down to this apocalyptic abyss, where sentience of any kind can barely exist. And we find ourselves led by hearts that are dead... for the suffering they cause, not one tear do they shed. Their addiction to greed, pushing perpetual need: the base desires of stunted minds where vultures do feed. It's all led to a hell of buy and sell, buy and sell, where everyone's reduced to a pale broken shell. The dead eyes of the young whose futures are hung upon the endless lies of a million forked tongues. On their flickering screens, visions sick and obscene forge their souls into something small, dark and mean. And the hearts of the old, once adventurous and bold slowly molder in the remnants of the principals they've sold. For once you give in an avalanche will begin, and then you'll find that YOU are why those pricks always win. Take back your brave new world and book me a flight to Jupiter... 'cause I don't wanna be human no more: everybody here's gettin' stupider. The blind rage that you feel. The “Art of the Deal”. The inexorable turning of a big f**kin' wheel. And the strong eat the weak, the wise grow flaccid and meek, and the rich feast on all the fruits of the power they seek. If there's a future at all (after all of this falls) it will not be if we heed the same darkness that calls. The human heart it yearns for the path that does turn towards the place where all good virtues bake, boil and burn.

Excellent choice to illustrate an unstable or contradictory theme. In my opinion, anyway, not that I'm any kind of expert. 2020-10-21T14:51:18Z
