Precious is the time we have together. The time on this earth. Its but a short dance in the scorching and cynical sun.

“The days are long and the years or short?” Says the man who made me.

We run from the moon because scientists are looking for an excuse to sleep in. Dont take your vitamins, sell your guns, drug your kids, leave your wife, and live on instinct and primal lust. We are not of this world but we are on this world to feel the good feels.

We are the pleasure monkeys `Aubrey Marcus

We have devasted our airs, waters and places at the behest of our forefathers. Given over our nation to profits, radicals, little kings and queens.

We are are a product of this world. We are foresight. We are mocked and we are mimicked in quiet. It’s all changing.

Now even the tallest man is struggling to keep his chin above the floods.

We shout the answers, “Self-reliance! Independence!”

The Oracles of the Palm drown us out. SEO, SMH, and ASMR guide their thoughts and put them to bed.

We are the whirlwind.
