Can you ever atone for the fact you were born in a time of excessive greed and incompetence?
You’ve had enough of this
But the nonsense just keeps coming
Can you ever relax into the background of your own life like a tree does? They don’t need us, they just breathe us and we fuck it all up
That’s what a modern human does
Can you ever apply the same kind kind kindness you give everyone else to yourself or are you doomed to continue bathed in self loathing?
Can you ever detach from the various hats you wear everyday so afraid of the creature (your nature) the mistake here: to fuck it all up
That’s what a modern human does
Oh no ma look at me I’m stuck inside the spectacle
I don’t know if Foucault saw the panopticon inside my skull
I’m running out of runway here at the end of history
Like a modern human does
Can you ever release the unlovable beast in the pit of your gut that’s wondering what the hell we’re doing here and when are we going home?
Can you ever distill the part of you that would kill part of you that’s unwell, part that’s under a spell, that you’re not enough, that you’ll never love, that you’ll fuck it all up
