A gorillas existential crisis

the human condition

Together we are a symphony

August 17, 2017MattLeave a comment

Together we are a symphony
That repels order and time
We’re nothing special
Merely mortal homo sapiens
Delirious through having conscience
And all the reasons we cannot sleep

Stupid

April 28, 2017MattLeave a comment

There is something intelligent about an animal that only considers it’s next meal and contemplates when and where it might next sleep. The irony is that that intelligence wouldn’t be recognised as such if it wasn’t for a species such as us to be stupid enough to consider all of this in the first place.

And so my enemy, in the end, is the same

I wouldn’t wish the human condition upon my worst enemy, but alas I have it and so do they.

So my enemy, in the end, is the same.

And that is what hurts the most.
