Stuck On Repeat
8-14-17


I'm sick of this story, but not the message.
What is it we're so attracted to? Why?
Don't you know the math? Divide + Conquer
only works for so long before
you wind up cutting into yourself...before
you cult yourself. I don't know how
to make the truth any more clear, but I do
know this: when there are too many
truths, there is no truth, and
attempting to push forward a new one
is a good way of ending up dead. Is it
any safer to keep running in circles
past the same markers of attempted
heroism fallen short? Following dreams
that don't exist or won't submit?
I can't watch the damage, but I will notice
what is and what is not done.
All I can do is report and you can hear,
and you can tell your friends so they
can notice what is and
what is not done. And
it'll keep going until we replace
the markers so that those coming
after us can make the same
choices we made, for the same results.
