For every feel-good moment of sunshiny contentment:
An old lady throws a kitten in dumpster.
A young girl joyfully drowns puppies.
Teenagers kick a pregnant girl bloody on a crowded bus, and people just look away and ignore it.

Hometown Dead Meat

Last week thousands of birds and fish died in Arkansas, their bodies falling from the sky over Beebe and washing up along the shore of the Arkansas River inexplicably.
This is happening all over the world and in increasing frequency. However, it's an old phenomena, and stranger things fall from the sky all the time (fish, frogs, crabs, strange gray jelly and living red ooze).

"Science is struggling to explain these things. These are examples of the surprises that nature can still bring...More research is needed,"

say The experts, who also, of course, claim the instances are totally unrelated, though they have no idea what did cause either sudden die off, and they assure us it's nothing to worry about for even a moment. At the same time they also maintain that "this is a classic example of freak events coinciding..."
How fucking scientific.
These things do happen all the time, therefore they can be both totally commonplace and a freak coincidence. Nothing is connected because it's always just coincidence when measured in terms of specialist modern science, especially a few paid and pressured mouthpieces, and don't you dare mention the Oil Spill Disaster that happened recently and not too far away, because that's all magically gone now, so stop bringing it up....

Human Population Growth, Economy and Technology: The "Necessity" of Cloned Meat

There were moments of dreams I was offered to save
I lived less like a workhorse, more like a slave
I thought that one quick moment that was noble or brave
Would be worth the most of my life.

So I pointed my fingers, and shouted a few quotes I knew
As if something that's written should be taken as true
But every path I have taken and conclusion I drew
Would put truth back under the knife.

And now the only piece of advice that continues to help:
Is anyone that's making anything new only breaks something else.

So I took what I wanted and put it out of my reach
I wanted to pay for my successes with all my defeats,
And if heaven was all that was promised to me
Why don't I pray for death?

And now it seems like the unraveling has started too soon,
Now I'm sleeping in hallways and I'm drinking perfume
And I'm speaking to mirrors and I'm howling at moons
While the worse and the worse that it gets.

Oh you can judge all the world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.
