The powers that be rely on our not caring
how our world is faring.
Not that we’d need to ask it
but everything’s going to Hell in a basket.
We’ve lost our reliance
on our friend science
Because, half of all people don’t have the brain
to come in out of the rain
I have a theory, completely testible,
that people are far too suggestible
They’d rather ignore facts that have great coherency
and believe that everything’s all a big conspiracy
So, the planet and people are going to Hell…
… oh well…

I don’t do free verse anymore… Although, in my prose, I try to incorporate some free verse techniques…
Plus, I think haiku should be criminalized…

Too many people are wanting to believe in fairy tales rather than actual science. If we’re going to survive as a species we have to accept reality not what makes us feel good.

I agree. The world is going to hell. Does it mean I should give up on everything? Because it seems I have.

When I sleep, I am gone. When I wake up, my first thought is…”oh no. Consciousness now disturbs my peace.” Maybe that’s a good line for one of my characters. But oh! Wait. If the world’s coming to end…why don’t I just walk along the beach instead of expending all that energy hunched over a computer…thinking…and writing…
