Paying the Price

That Ominous Feeling

That Things aren’t right

It’s so much more than clinical depression

Social alienation

Or economic marginalization.

There’s no denying

That our resources are tapped

The folks that run Manor Farm

Are sleeping well tonight

All the empaths

And polar bears are grieving

And paying the price

For all the corporate greed

That has committed unjust crimes

Against nature and humanity. 

We are all being systematically squeezed out of existence

Is this what evolution is supposed to look like?

Extinction.

when we are extinct
will we be missed?

missed by who? God? The animals? I think not. Only humans get sentimental
about their supposed importance of existence. I never question whether or not
we'll be missed.

forgive me... I think God may already be extinct...or has gone to
another
dimension or parallel universe...where
concerns about planet earth are
not on the radar screen...

god never actually existed , it was simply a literary device

..is the essence of existence...beingness?
..to be or not to be?
perhaps god
was created by man
in an attempt to rationalize
existence...

and the point of beingness is? To get off on what a groovy world we live
in?
It's hard for people that have known severe trauma to breathe into the tao
of life. I suppose we can appreciate the natural world and still acknowledge
that hell is most definitely other people.

just being hurts some of us and if its not hurting us other beings are

Perhaps there is sanctuary here
for those of us who know pain and trauma. The
point of being?
An absurd,cosmic joke?
