THE FUTURE / HOPEFULLY NOT

For quite some time we had felt that revolution should be in the air.  But we never rose to the occasion. We were too distracted by the mesmerizing lights of prosperity. 


And late at night, all of the pot heads would wonder to themselves if they were just being paranoid, or if it really was the end of the world.



And after Japan fell, most of us knew it was only a matter of time.  Oddly enough, there was no panic in the streets.  People retreated back into their living rooms with their drugs.  


The sociopaths knew there wouldn’t even be enough time to reveal their power to the world.  And besides, there would be no world left to rule.  



Some people came up with elaborate plans for escape.  They all failed.

Add Some Fuel to that Fire

Why do we love computers so much? Because it feels powerful to live in a world of your own creation, a world where your command dominates.  It's almost like we are too hurt to risk trying to connect in person anymore.  (Emo.)

We like the safe distance.  And we like the fact that we can control who we are willing to interact with.

It's so safe.  And it's fun.  And it's useful.  But it's also terribly...weird.

And I wonder sometimes what someone from the distant past would think of our music if they somehow landed in this time period.   And why do I have the sinking feeling that they'd say it reminded them of the snarls of a cat in heat.
