A FOGGY DAY
I woke up today and i felt like i hadn't slept in years. You know that feeling when you wake up from a deep and dreamy sleep and realize with horror that you HAVE to get up right now, at this very moment otherwise you'll just end up rolling over and fall back asleep until the sun sets. It was one of those mornings today and with the curtains drawn i could not discern any light coming from the outside world making it impossible for me to actually wake up in mind and in body.
Oh, the outside world. A source of constant aggression, a vicious attack on all of your senses.
So why bother with it? Today i didn't get up. I could not find the strenght within myself. I could not see how i, such a small and insignificant ant lost in a sea of numbers and expressionless faces, i could not see how i mattered. And i could not find a good enough reason to get out there and give a hundred and one percent of myself to this gigantic and power hungry machine they call a society. Because i get nothing in return, nothing but frustration and emptiness.
"So you just give up?" You'll ask. Yes, i give up.
I spoke once. I had an opinion once. And i thought it mattered once. I thought i-I!- mattered. But you know what? No one is listening.
In those tall glass and concrete towers they prepare the future, they decide of our reality without our conscent. They talk endlessly of the future, their future, but they shut their ears to the voices from below. Delusions of grandeur.
So go ahead, say all that you want. You will offend no one. There will be no reaction. Deaf ears. Deaf ears rule the world. Yes, go ahead, say what you want, scream all you want, you will make no difference.
Say what you want. This is a democracy.
It's a foggy day and im going to sleep the pain away.
THE END.
I actually have good reasons to get up in the morning, this piece was not about me as Pete, though i sometime feel like there isn't much we can do about the state of the world. Life often feels like an uphill battle but if we can't make the world change in a day (which we can't) we can at least try our best to make our own personnal lives better. It's a good start and an easier task than trying to bring about a whole social revolution (which would be nice).
Have a nice day.
