It’s happening. Right now. All around us.
Day after day we speed towards it.
We can’t stop it, we can’t understand it, try as we might.
Everyone around us, we’re all hurling along.
It’s happening.
History has no shelf life. History speaks volumes.
It’s going faster and faster and more latitude in it’s developments.
More longitude in its consequences.
More everything in its evidence.
More people fighting for their beliefs.
More people hiding from the truth.
More people starving for justice.
More people killing their competitors.
More people speeding towards the cliff’s edge.
It’s happening.
Civilizations have fallen and disappeared from the records.
Humanity is older that we know.
Humans are a cosmic conundrum.
Neither good nor bad nor in between.
As we speed towards our fate many try to predict the unpredictable.
They sell more potions to save humanity.
To remedy the world’s ills.
They run down the road paved with good intentions.
Hoping their good deeds with not be punished.
It’s happening.
Look out. Be aware. Pay attention.
You can only save yourself.
Perhaps that’s an illusion too.
Saved from what?
A worse or better outcome?
A life lost or in vain?
A world you didn’t make but contributed to,
participated in.
Faster and faster the wheel turns.
Until it becomes a whirring blur.
Until we lose our tenuous footing.
Until we find ourselves in free fall.
We look around us and what do we see?
A world with or without reason, screaming a madness we all feel and ponder when we have time.
Don’t shut your eyes,
Open wide and watch the show—because—
It’s happening.
