I have bin here before ,.. many times , . this collapsing of society .
This is not a reality but more a feeling i have deep inside . It could entirely be something isolated to me and have nothing to do with ongoing demise in our modern-day society . It could be that my vision is not as clear as i think it is .That i am blinded by personal interest or even greed . I don't know and only the future can expose any fictional reality that we might make up today . Still , i have this feeling , i have bin here before ,... many times .
For reference i will post a nice old poem ones written in a language that is said to be the first ever written and not spoken for ages .
Listen my friend
This is the dream i dreamed last night .
I stood before a awful being , the somber faced man-bird .
He turned his stare towards me and led me away to the palace of Arcala .
The queen of darkness . To the house of non who enter never return .
Down the road from witch is no going back .
There is the house of who's people sit in darkness ,
dust is there food and clay there meat .
There cloved with wings for covering , they see no light .
They sit in darkness .
I entered the house of dust and i saw the king's of the Earth .
There crown's put away forever .
Rulers and princes all who whore kingly crown's and
ruled the world in the days of the old .
They who had stood in the place of gods , stood now like servant's .
In the house of dust whit high priest's and illiterates , priest's of incantation and extacy . And here was Ereshkigal the queen of the underworld ,
she who keeps the book of the death . She raised her head .
She saw me and spoke ,.. Who has brought this one here ?
Then i awoke , like a man drained of blood , who wonders alone , ..
in a waste .
A poem written by someone witnessing the collapse of his society .
The collapse of the existing conformist system that had thrived for a very very long time , with as main course the climate change .
Hail Bob had just passed and the solar system did the Earth glow up a bit more . Making the already salty lands impossible to use anymore .
There city's collapsed and turned to desserts .
Reading this old poem in this time and age , makes me somehow relate to it , feel it , and knowing it is all a cycle .
I heard that someone ones asked a question to the one that should know .
The answer was ,.. short after the crusaders are back in Mesopotamia .
Well did they ? and did something change ? ,... did it ?
And don't get me wrong , i do not fear , what ever the future brings me .
Might even say , that i await it with a smile on my face .
Have a nice day , enjoy these last days while you can ,.. ;-)
It's looking a bit buggered isn't it
Only if your glass is half empty.
I'm warming to Poland
Yes that happened.
My glass is mostly relative, but on bad days it gets a bit nihilist
I prefer my drinking direct from a fountain coming down a mountain .
No glass needed ,. a wooden cup will do fine thank you ;-)
Depends on the spirit within one , the conformist statistic spirit will shake in fear , the mountain nomads , the free spirits , never bound to anyone , will smile , and smell freedom . ;-)
Well I'm certainly smelling something :)
Others do to , and find inspiration in it ,.. ;-)
Societal collapse is where we're at as you say... Nothing new under creation, we just happen to be living in this particular collapse... Crazy people eventually get the upper hand an keep the fucking cycle going... I try to find humor in it all .. WTF ...Lets try to surf this wave to the beach..
Humor , yes , i must find more humor to insert in my post's .. it's such a powerful weapon , just learning now how to yield it without cutting my arms of or worse ,.. ;-)
I stopped taking myself seriously a long time ago.. There is a laugh in everything.. I sleep good that way...
Live your life straight in to perfect laughter ... Bukowski ;-)
