If you are hungry enough, the world becomes something to bite and rip and tear and devour and consume and feast on and imbibe and swallow and digest and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat because you are so so so so so so so so s os so hungry…

[ryderthequeerious]

We thought it would happen all at once

Some big flashing sign

“Here is when the world ends”

Or an explosion

at least

It was, for some

There isn’t enough mourning even in the hearts of billions

To win back what we’ve already lost

We keep losing

We didn’t know we were in the battle

Conscripted in secret

Through tv screens and smear campaigns

Through exhaustion and hopelessness

It didn’t happen all at once

It’s still happening

We’re still in it

Watching the building collapse from the top floor

There is no safety

No place to let down your guard

No utopia hiding

Just beyond the horizon

We’re too visible

Too different

To change ourselves would be to unmake ourselves

To persevere is a promise of hardship

To preserve is all we have.
