why rejoice over the end of the murderous old

when the earnest shiny new will be just as bad?


every generation thinks they live in some golden era

and every generation learns to its downfall


let the mindlessly optimistic think they're a new thing

under the sun...they will end as mind-dead


even as they smile and praise their illusion...

maybe that is one thing to rejoice about...the power of illusion....
