Post inspired by a real tune from Everlast:

I remember when the very concept of “when”. Was never an If and only a then.
Now I’m not so sure.
There are no more absolutes.
The current mentality says there's a whole lotta Nots. And a whole lotta Nopes. And a whole lotta Cannot and a whole lotta Can’t. For the very largest majority of my life I felt the word can’t - and even the design of it - was a simple fix. You just cleave it off right there where it says so, apostrophe and good bye to the T. Now it only spells the word “Can”.
And that ain’t too hard then, is it?
But it is. It is hard. The world is hard. People are hard. Life is hard. Jobs are hard, family hard, bills r’ hard, history/ hard; it’s not just cawk that gets hard (and not just “Bill’s” that does when you might not want it to). The world will do so plenty as well.
It’s all real hard.
So what then?
I guess I was real lucky with this period of life I have mostly existed within. Cuz people have been slaughtering each other well enough before I got here. And appear to be ready to do so some more. I’m quite sure they’re gonna, in fact. And I may as well. But I got to mostly exist between all that up until now.
I could have been a dude carrying dust up a pyramid in an attempt to make someone else’s monument great. Cuz I was ordered to do so. Instead, I’ve been granted Free Will. And even in a world where I am granted that by default - we will fuck it all up and ruin a future even better than what it is now.
And how can we fuck all of the best of this up - given the greatest liberties we’ve ever enjoyed, expediency and efficiency available on a level possibly never ever even hoped for before (and yet no one’s got no time fer nuthin). As well, an opportunity for connectivity we choose to use to fabricate our own truth into the belief of someone else, or the wants of someone else, or the meaning of someone else, or the expectations, the measure, the demands, the failure - of someone else. Rather than grab the light and be OURSELF (which is easily the greatest idiocy and waste of life that I’ve ever witnessed, truly remarkable stupidity overall that I simply remain unable to stomach).
Why. And What then. So. Given it’s all become so upside down.
Well, like many times before, we will decimate ourselves. Greed will kill you all. And we will encounter and do all of that once more. Shed some blood. Destroy a large amount of irreplaceable things. Enough of a fart that humans the world over will eventually have a nice drop down into the dirt and go, “I’m fucking exhausted from all this. And what are we honestly doing anyway?” And then they’ll stop.
But by then, unlike some other times, perhaps. The planet will be more important than You and have it’s own ideas about who might “last” or not.
So then. Yer a dinosaur.
Outright.
-What can be done to avoid this truth?
Open up your ears, willingly. Holistically. To someone else other than yourself.
Then you really might know what it’s like…
