“In today's world most people consider revolution as inconvenient, and regulation as injustice. So they get their frustrations out on the innocent janitor, and keep quiet in front of the corrupt bureaucrat.”

“What exactly do we have in this chest of ours - heart or ham? How can we be so cold, how can we be so indifferent, how can we be so utterly dead and rotten, that the cry of others never reach our ears, whether they are five thousand miles away or five meters!”

“And, in answering affirmatively to such questions, would not such despair further entrench us in this barbarism as we collectively foreclose upon the possibility of what seems to us impossible—the transformation from a society founded upon evil to one founded upon love? Perhaps even to suggest such a thing strikes us as maudlin and trite.
Yet, a path remains open for it, but not one we may wish to embark upon. It is the hope that I may suffer my apathy before barbarism’s decadence. Decadence concerns a collective stagnation of the will that no longer wills anything other than to will itself, i.e., to express its power for power’s sake in an infinite repetition of the same.25 In such a situation, I am left with the despair of an a-pathetic ego that concludes: “this is just the way things are” or “it is what it is.” Suffering this apathy then means encountering a crossroads whereby I may either more fully assume the thanatonic and participate in the decadence of barbarism or, perhaps, allow this suffering to convert decadence into a crisis, turning from the crisis of crisis that is decadence and, thereby, also convert my a-pathy back toward a pathos that awakens me to this pernicious logic at work.”

“Drunk, Insane & Uneducated (The Sonnet)
We live in a world where the sane,
Are more insane than the clinically insane.
Greed and apathy are worse of all ailments,
They make a society narrow and vain.
We live in a world where the educated,
Are more ignorant than the uneducated.
Arrogance and egotism are sacrilege of education,
They make a savage out of the most learned.
We live in a world where the sober,
Are more drunk than a sick alcoholic.
Coldness makes vegetable out of a human,
Then they cuss accountability as idealistic.
I'm drunk and insane, with no education whatsoever.
And these are the signs of a person sane, sober and seer.”

“Ignorance and Arrogance Thud
Manifesting a Labyrinth from a Flood
They are brothers, share the same Blood
It is from them that Apathy can Bud
Devil’s advocate rests in the Mud
Showing its assets like a Stud
Projection of right and wrong without Consent
These brothers never say a word they Meant”
