Happy 2013 ladies and gents… Welcome to the year that should have never been.
Coming to you live from a seedy basement somewhere, I bring you a brand new bridge into the mind of Kymlee… I was thinking the other day, (I know, rare occurrence huh?) that the world is a magnificently fucked up place.
In the last year, we as a country have felt tremendous loss, on more than one occasion. Violence and politics, politics and violence. The ever perpetuating circle of distrust and misuse and scapegoat-isms and untruths and coverups and people being led to the slaughter. The slaughter of their minds and then their will to fight. I am almost at a loss for words to describe for you, as to what a disappointment it is to be in THIS SHIT right here… To be a subject of the Republic of the United States of America.
Picture this…
A little girl, wearing her little school clothes, with her hand over her heart, repeating the words to the Pledge of Allegiance and looking at a waving flag that is supposed to symbolize freedom, justice, loyalty, honor, and above all else, the love of a unified group of people who will always fight for their freedom to speak, to choose, to love, to be whatever it is that God so intended, without oppression. That little girl, who grew into a woman, truly believed in these things. She put her heart, her soul, her life into these freedoms, cherished them, and allowed no one to ever take them away. Until gradually she started to realize that those freedoms weren’t really there, they were illusions of freedom, and that an evil had been corrupting her direct world, and her indirect one.
That evil, is complacency. We don’t even know it’s happening, until it already has taken hold of the lives you cherish so much. It is a terrible feeling to wake up and finally understand how powerful complacency has become. A terrible feeling to know that you played a part in it, going about your life like nothing will ever touch you. But it has.
Our life here in America is about to change, drastically, so much so that you will notice. There will be no more boiling frog syndrome, the time for gradual has all but come to a close. Now, we will be relinquishing everything to be entrusted to our government, who has been far less than trustworthy for as long as I’ve been alive, and then some. They will control us further, and if you think I’m insane, just take a look at history, and compare it with ours. We are under the thumb of a tyrannical government already. They are upon us, and there is no satisfaction for the thirst of power, or money, or blood.
Our generation and the ones to come, we are suffering, and most of us are blind. Blind trust.
I don’t know why.
Where is the light?
My goodness, this one really does come across as a message from a “seedy basement”. Is it a style experiment, or were you feeling depressed about something specific? Perhaps you should read Dostoyevsky’s “Notes from the Underground”, which deals with the same themes you have brought up.
My best protection against an intrusive government has been to live in such a way that I’m not worth their time and effort to vigorously oppress or try to control. I don’t have enough money or property, and my skill-set isn’t of value to them. It’s been pretty easy to ignore the very existence of the government for the most part, and because I pay my piddly amount in taxes and renew my licenses on time, they ignore me right back.
