Macro-Micro

macro/micro long term the world is gonna collapse on the shoulders & debt will swallow one alive, if no one picks said individual off, for the sake of some grudge buried deep deep down but forgotten by the subject at hand, because of the, well, debt that will swallow & all the drama in the present moment, spawned in the past & destined to do one in, come the future, if something doesn’t get him/her first & whilst all that takes a place to sit in its wicker rocking chair to linger, right behind the retinas, in the short term, things just might look not half bad, in the short term, there just might be some smiles arising & come this micro-satisfaction with life, the long-term-****ed person is constantly looking over their shoulder, constantly worrying…right in the back of their head, knowing that one day, like a house of cards crashing down, it will be utterly swept up & taken away, the whole damn enchilada. pleasure in the micro is all we got, finding a way to get through the *****that piles up in the moment, pleasure in these hours, waiting for the axe--- and though those in power insist on us having this mindset, those who do, are for the most part, not naïve to the fact--- it makes one appreciate what there actually is, no what there “could be”--- it makes one understand that mortality is the reality & that “eternal life” is bullshit--- it makes someone stop buying into the ways we’re told we’re allowed to dream, it makes one stop dreaming for what we’re shown that we’re allowed to dream for & instead command what we dream, based on what in the micro makes sense.
