Climate Change

 I thought my world would last forever.
But as I sit in my room late at night,
The window open,
Hoping for a breeze,
I must concede that soon it'll be too hot
To stay where I live now. 

     I think that we're at a turning point. Everyone now has their own opinion of where we should go and what we should do. A person could, feasibly, look at who wants what and from that build a world that will be accepted, if not embraced, by everyone currently in the United States, barring a massive shift like a war or another pandemic. I don't think anyone in government is going to do this, but if you're like me, you believe that our Universe is in a quantum state where every possible outcome will be accepted regardless of belief, so a world where everyone believes in something is the beginning of a world where people will once again feel happy and safe. We're at that point now. We are looking at the beginning of the future, whatever that future is going to be. Look out, decide if it's what you want, and then push for what you don't think you can live without that isn't a part of our new world yet. I know it sounds crazy, but I think we might finally be on the upturn. 

Days of the Blessed

 When I was a child
I did not understand
Why only a few days
Were blessed.
I only knew that on those days
We had fun
Waiting to see
What the gods had given us.

Now I'm older
And wiser,
And I know our world 
Only stays real
When we believe that 
It exists.
But I don't know why
We're only allowed to believe
On the days of the blessed. 

I hear that for many
It's hard to believe
In what they can't see, 
For they can't see it
In their minds eye.
But on this day of the blessed,
Whoever chooses to celebrate,
I think we should remember
That the world is larger
Than what we are able to see. 

     It's weird having four digits worth of posts, in a good way. I realize that I'm using the blog as a replacement for Twitter, but I think we all need a replacement for Twitter. I just wish there was a better way to find people who share my opinions of the world. Ah well, I can't undo the past. I'm here now, and that's all that matters. 

    It's my one thousandth post, and on my birthday no less. I planned it this way, not going to lie. Today is a day of celebration, and I'm glad I've kept at it for as long as I have. 

Someone Else's Mistake

 I can't help but worry
That one day I'll die
Due to someone else's mistake.
I don't want to live knowing 
That the future is beyond my control,
And I don't like knowing 
That the person responsible
Probably won't even care. 

    Happy Independence Day! Maybe one day I'll say this in an America that's truly free and fair for everyone. 

Thank You

 Thank you for showing
 That the law no longer applies
To those at the top,
For now I have no reason
To follow any of your rules.

    In light of the Supreme court telling Donald Trump that he's free to do whatever he wants, I think we need to admit that as far as our government is concerned, reality doesn't exist anymore. We're free to see the world as whatever we want it to be. I see the world as a place where Trump lost in 2016 and this election is between Hilary Clinton's successor and a bitter man who won't admit that he can't win. Even if you aren't actively denying reality, that's pretty much the case.

The Lucky

 This room is full of wealth
And beauty.
Manmade, of course,
But that doesn't stop millions 
From coming to see it.
They say that just by touching
The cups and the cutlery,
You'll be blessed with a thousand lifetimes of luck

No one knows where this story came from,
But we still believe it anyway.
Dancing under chandeliers
And the watchful eyes of our ancestors,
We hope that they'll allow us to 
Join the ranks
Of the lucky.
