I can't figure out

anything anymore--

the gross contradictions

do not seem to me

like wonderous paradox

and I find it

harder and harder

to maintain the gumption

that got me this far

down the line--

maybe

some of you young idiots

coming up today

will do better

but the few who do

will have greater loads

of horseshit

to contend with--

a generation

of morons

trained

to be nothing more than

cogs in a machine

and--here's the kicker--

happy to be so--

no deep thought

no resonance

of meaning

nor sense of awe--

just multitasking

nitwits bred for pure function

here to wipe out

all matter of achievement

that came before them--

the wisdom of the ages

deleted by the honored

stupidity of automata--

and no human outrage

can prevail against

this unsupportable mass

of ...what? call it what...that

has no comprehension of anything--

that cannot conceptualize

or bring forth forms

organic to the matrix

that supports all life?

I can take it no further than this--

time lays waste to all forms

but never before with so much

deliberate help

from the soulless sociopaths

connected to nothing but their own

inhumanity...

no sense protesting--

no sense to do anything

but realize we have never been other than

in God's hands

and that our fleeting moment

in this world...all we've done

and all we love...ALL of it passing...

what more to do than acquiesce

and pass with it...

on to the Great Whatever Next...

so long see ya later---

this time is gone

into time yet to come---

enjoy your consciousness

now at the end

of this term...

sad old wisdom not so wise

young mindless bliss shrieking

in the void at the center of its own being...

fuck you all

forgive you all

I weep

until I cease to weep

and in the weary rest that follows

let memory

built through

lifetime after lifetime

lead us up

lead us up...

May God have mercy on us all....
