Linguistic hell.
The world is broken
because of us
because
we weren’t good
or clever, so
In countless cruel ways
we failed.
And,
On its fragments:
blood and pain,
lies disguised
as narratives.
Privatisation of emotions.
Dumbism ->
And we follow them —
we trample over it ruthlessly,
proudly, with deep self-adoration,
and we keep going
as long as
there remains a tree left to cut down,
something left to be taken from the Earth.
Harlequins lead us.
They do a ritual dance like peacock spiders.
We were
like a band of looters,
and we learn
nothing.
And,
Even then,
we will only pity ourselves
when
the consequences
of our actions
finally
arrive.
And,
With regard to today’s
human civilisation
most positive thought
is self-deception,
illusion,
a pointless,
bittersweet lie.
