Dark mass moves across the room
Anticipation building in shallow breath
Locked inside a fragile mortal tomb
Waiting for the chilled whisper of death
Can’t escape from borrowed time
This jealous clock still counting down
Critical thinking considered a crime
Bloated jester claims his phony crown
History is repeated on the norm
Empires tumble in self-inflicted greed
Corruption feeds a perfect storm
This gutted system is bound to bleed

” History is repeated on the norm
Empires tumble in self-inflicted greed ”
Indeed!
This society has entered another dieback stage

There are 89 seconds to midnight on the doomsday clock. That’s the closest we’ve ever been to human extinction.
Great musing, my friend.
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That’s pretty damn close, 1 minute and 29 seconds, did not know that one. This old dog still learning new tricks, thanks for the info, I like knowing little odd details, I’ve heard of the doomsday clock, just never knew about how close we got. Your commentary really means a lot my friend. Appreciate you.

I was reading this & groaning out loud as I did. Because it’s so painfully accurate. Am I the only one who feels like we’re watching the world draw inward…preparing to implode? All because those who have would rather have more than be decent fuckers. So instead they destroy everything in their greed. I’m a subdued pissed now, reading this. Yet again, you capture the essence of reality in all its ugly truth, my friend
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree, to quote Dennis Hopper in the movie Flashback: “We got two classes. The truly needy and the truly greedy.” I sometimes can’t believe it’s happened, then I have to recall how we got here. I’m surprised how slowly the people are waking up, gotta hope they don’t wait till the 11th hour. Appreciate you.

Politicians need to be obliterated! End of story. Excellent!
