History repeats itself.
We do not listen, nor do we learn. Instead we mash a poisonous blend of sugary, ultra-processed products and empty entertainment down ourselves, and proudly do so, to feel nothing. And when we are duped again by an ever-growing proliferation of profiteers and politicians, who are poison themselves, we act surprised as if we have been doing the work it takes to understand. We demand pity for our stupidity and die never knowing we have lived.
History is spoon fed by fools and salesmen, and written by criminals. Half-truths abound; fraud reigns and lies are snack food for psychopaths. They are believed because we are apathetic, and we believe because to do so gives us the only sustenance we purport to know: money and the feeling of power, those sugary products devoid of nutrition. The walking dead leading the blind, mouths open in entitlement and expectation.
All the while wisemen watch from afar, doing nothing and shaking their heads in disbelief.
