I’m fucking dying, where are you?

has it lied in our palms or are we to rot in patience

By Makenna BoltonPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

Listen, what happens to our personal accounts when we forget our passwords? From my experience and understanding, nothing happens. It doesn’t shut down, it doesn’t glitch, so much as long as no one gets hold of it and abuses it; it simply exists on its own. Rotting, waiting for our return to give it energy, and life. Perhaps it needs us, but without “us” it has no life, no purpose to fulfill: but then again, we created it, so it is our responsibility to remember it, and use it wisely and carefully. What you have read, and what you will read is no fictional story; it is a beg, a plead, a desperate cry for help. The final reach for a hand to cling to, with the last bit of life it has left. We were given life on this planet, and for billions of years, we have evolved, reproduced and created so much. Humans have been here only a short amount of time, but in that tiny fraction we have taken Earth’s resources and utilized them to invent technology, vehicles, all the modern day to day things we use in our lives. Granted, a lot has brought us some amazing inventions, and it has made life easier for us. Yet, then again, there’s that word.. us. We’ve only ever thought of ourselves; we do not blink, nor take a second of hesitation to stop and think about the consequences of our so called easy life. We kill animals for our amusement, for decoration, for fashion. We throw our own inventions away into nature, wasting the products that make our lives more efficient because we are on the go, and we don’t want to take the time to properly dispose of it. We are constantly stripping the green from this planet, and slowly it has become an unsuitable and unsafe environment for many species, including our own. And for what? To make life easier and more efficient? So that we can get to the 9-5 jobs faster, give more money to the government that we cannot feel safe with to make humane choices? To live the “American dream” and feed into the conforming system? Wake up. Humans have put a price tag on life itself, deciding and depicting what is valuable and what is worth our eyes to see, and if you are not good enough to a society that has blinded you, then you will be disposed of too.

O mother earth

The residue of human greed corrupts your core

You birthed us, provided water, food, shelter and so much more

And to this our species has thanked you with destruction

We are no better than the “aliens” we watch on the silver screen, only we are the cause of our extinction

To break the spell of our own actions is near impossible

Can we undo what has been done?

Is it too late to reset your password?

I fear the end of our time has come

Though we can always change

We can start again

And live harmoniously with the nature than began in Eden

But first we must go back into our past, and wonder how we came to be.

Was our purpose simply to exist balanced with nature, happy and free?

Or to take, destroy, and then leave?

The time has come to log in to our account, and reset the password we have forgotten to love.

It will take time and work, but it can be done

The world is a pyramid and we must overthrow that which is above.

What a fool I am

To every believe that this blind world will ever wake

To know what I know, where our future awaits.
