Cruelty

03 Feb 2022

·J.T.

Unending cruelty it’s our nature. So is defending this way of life by an intricate web of lies. Sustained by tending to the day to day just to avoid opening one’s eyes, and at times when our eyes aren’t so blind it is just to find a scapegoat on which to pin the many crimes. Punishment of the innocent, mass genocide, the bombing Hiroshima just to avoid “wasting” an American life. Humanity does not hold itself accountable, ‘cause narcissism and hubris has been scorched into the minds. Nihilism has become an absolute truth, the key to understanding the truth of mankind. Their is no pleasure in watching your world burn as you idly stand by. However can’t say it is but deserved.

I am simply put a lost soul coming to terms with the sometimes harsh realties of life. Learing the complex intricacies of world we live by trying to understad both the beauty and brutishness of it all.
