existential warfare

against the quick

By ⸘jason alan‽Published 2 months ago 1 min read
"hand study" ⸘jason alan‽ colored pencil on paper 2025

on the menu

identities consumed

in isolation by design

tribalistic separation

us and them

denying the nature

what it means to be human

civilization without humanity is

nothing close to civilized

economically justified

by the root of all evil

synthetic imitation of organic cultivation

easily conquered

as communities fracture and divide

fringes stripped from the fabric

formed from the wildness

societal suicide sold as progress for the rife

aggressively advancing

to a culminant execution

owning only demision and exile

refining policy to remain extant and animated

financing existential warfare

against the quick

subsidizing extinction level calamity

rather than an easy fix
