Almost three years ago from today December 20th, 2022 self quarantined misanthrope... pitched into purgatory wham! Ably cane resign eternal damnation (mine) courtesy devil specially engraved telegram prestidigitation found me vanishing shazam, without a trace I disappeared in thin air voila Earthly travails atop horns of dilemma ram into me buttucks pitching yours truly ma'am hoisted courtesy my own petard sheepishly wool ewe (red dully) bull heave human bug eyed recalcitrant specimen (me) nonetheless lamb basted skewered (think shish kabob) log jam succinctly described helplessness to preserve ultimately repurposed into green eggs and ham harmless recluse no more valuable than flotsam. Grant simple wish to withdraw into hermitage coronavirus (COVID-19) just desserts we wage us Homo sapiens on trial across web world stage severely misappropriating Earthly resources rage understandable Gaia she pointedly reminds adage inescapable comeuppance whereby our civilization written off as atrocious, hellacious, malicious, page poisonous primates essentially, dismally, yes clearly bollixed, failed, leveraged, and tortured planet I gauge hell in a handbasket ironic tragicomic fate wise sage of yesteryear did prognosticate now we scurry hither and yon, to and fro Smashing Pumpkins immortalize metaphor likened each one of us analogous to rat locked in cage bajillion eons ago once upon a time our noble savage ancestors levels playing field now new bacteriophage relentlessly pits twenty first century civilization doles microscopic organism (battling unseen enemy) voyage around sun fraught tooth and nail powder milk biscuits a Prairie Home Companion ruse buzzfeeding courage for shy people (yours truly) communicating message, albeit urgent to revamp paradigm to live social - nsync with eco friendly coda allowing, enabling, & providing liberty and justice for all living (colorful) things hostage at mercy of self proclaimed superior beasts above average with intelligence, yet rendering oblate spheroid garbage.
