Life is short, but sweet for certain

I am really sick of people and their fear of sickness. Mostly because they cause most of the illnesses and run around like chickens with their heads cut off like it isn't their fault and looking for solutions and reasons and pop pills and bathe in hand sanitizer. Many diseases that ravaged earlier generations then became silent are now coming back and infecting the old, the young and everyone in between. And why? Because of people. Diseases that lay dormant come back with a vengeance as the earth's temperature increases. Heat breeds that shit and it comes back and there is a "shocking" increase of disease X found here or there and people are dying. Does anyone realize that they are creating their death? No of course they won't until the last ice berg melts and the world is one big puddle. And then it's too late and everyone goes, "Ah, I wish I knew that I was killing the planet."

And then the media comes into play. That fucking psychotic machine of money-making writes articles about "scary germs" found in ATM's, or restaurant bathrooms or your remote control. Well, no shit there are germs on such things because a lot of people use the ATM or the bathroom or your remote control. Why is that surprise? And the public reads that and is paranoid about germs, and God damn, disease X is coming back, so run out in your gas guzzling SUV and buy all of the anti-bacterial soap and hand sanitizer that you can because you dont want you or your family to get disease X. And then curse all of the illegal immigrants who brought back disease X and bad germs to your country. Those little fucks should be sent back to where they came from huh? That third world pit of doom which contains every disease that Americans managed to sweep under the rug. If they only stayed where they were, you'd be able to use your ATM safely, without the worry of catching the plague. So the media tells the public that they're gonna die if they sit down and change the channel so they just buy more shit to make them safer when it actually harms them, because over-exposing yourself to products which kill bacteria fucks up your system, and when you do get sick, anti-biotics will not work in your favor anymore.

So then everyone is sick and daying and they can't get better. We all need a scapegoat, so blame dirty immigrants for the current condition of their perfect world when in fact it is the everyday citizen. Because it's too hard to consume less energy. It is, right? Taking a shorter shower, turning lights off before leaving your house, or driving less (or in a more fuel-efficient car) is way too much to ask of anyone. So we fuck ourselves over and become scared of germs which, SURPRISE! are everywhere anyway.

And I'm tired and I don't know what I'm saying anymore. werd.


Hey my love do you believe that we might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this,our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me down
