the negative expansion

Yes, we can contemplate sending
letters of satisfaction to ourselves,
we love self-love letters,
and naturally,
we consider ourselves to be fantastic and gorgeous.
Oh, yes, and our intelligence,
Oh, wow, that is shining!
We think and love ourselves.
And if you want to be a successful
you must be more egoistic.
You need bigger, longer, and more.
In fact.
If people truly loved their children,
they would refrain from consuming meat,
avoid purchasing items from large online corporations,
they would stop buying new cars,
cease supporting Hollywood's greed-driven productions,
and abandon their selfish behaviours.
But these are, of course, childish dreams.
Real adults, real humans
buy more, consume more,
try to become managers,
build carriers,
lie every day a million times.
I am childish.
You are an adult.
However, they do not genuinely love their children,
despite their claims to the contrary.
Yes, we can speculate
about our survival and have faith in human stories,
myths, and legends.
These exist in the darkness of this dreadful civilization,
where our only remaining hope
lies in the swift self-destruction of everything familiar to us.
And, of course,
this sounds unpleasant,
but it remains less horrific
than our manners on this planet every single second.
