Pandora and Eve’s Folksong
morality is as fragile as mortality.
the idea that we can maintain a level of humanness all while striving for the glory of goodness is unbelievable, unthinkable, so obscure a thought that we might as well have eve pick the fruit one more time for another lesson in curiosity.
the only thing men own is our savagery and our habit of romanticising it.
the theory of us: humans, faith riddled slabs of meat with a chip on our shoulder because the world manages to fuck up some way, some how, are officially going out of style.
face it, we're all last season so grab your black eyeliner and paint on the dead girl walking persona.
the theory of us: humans, minty fresh breath to match the outward coolness that sneaks up when we inhale more than we should have, gap tooth smiles that represent white washed diversity we accidentally let slip out of pandora's jar, are in no position to pass judgement when the person we leave it up to seeps into the shadows in the midst of atlas' unexpected resign from duty.
the balance between good and evil has tilted out of my favour and now i am in this personal purgatory.
the theory of us: humans, hypocritical creatures of constant retry that leaves us sinking in a river of doubt where we truly don't see the end of the rainbow because we took too long trying to understand why it shines more than our aura, our inner glow that's supposed to soften the outside world not make more beautiful, don't know a thing about true beauty because of the quest to find something postmortem and bring it back to life with pretty words.
the monster under my bed quit last week, even he believes the one in my head is enough for the both of us.
the theory of us: humans, wishes of clear skin and a heart that can withstand a beating, will only ever to comprehend things in first person because to look outside of ourselves requires one thing we do not own.
i thank you, prometheus,
hopefully you'll forever dance in the fire you gifted us.
