You’ve got to prey just to make it today … prey …
Hey Young World … scientifical madness reigns on terra firma, kiddies. It’s savage out there. A life form might be punked into submission only to return with a deadly vengeance and scare the shit out of those at the top of the chain. Life is nastier, more brutal, and in many cases, shorter than expected. It can happen to you, best believe. If it isn’t an unholy alliance of politicians, school administrators and statisticians damning you to a menial existence then it’s cops finishing the job of filling your bloodstream with lead that your aging housing stock probably started already. Depending on where you were born you might be accused of witchcraft and physically abused or be so despised that people would rather widen a river then let you exchange your time for pay. But what did you expect? You don’t believe in heaven because you’re living in hell. At least you have it a little bit easy, I mean, it’s not as if you’re one of 35 million Americans who went hungry last year, right? Right? You aren’t typically murdered in cold blood according to official policy like dogs in Puerto Rico or robbers in Nigeria, after all. When’s the last time you were tasered by anti-terrorism agents like a diabetic Briton or a Polish immigrant in Canada (whose death-by-taser is now viewable online) or chased by cops only to be eaten by an alligator on your own reservation? Your sad plight is not the only one worthy of media attention – take a number, crumbsnatcher. You have no legitimate grievances to articulate yet you act as if minor “my bads” such as dangerous security incompetence, persistent race-based inequities, minutely codified government-sanctioned torture, legally sanctioned military surveillance of private life and massively hypocritical corruption pose a real threat to harmonious co-existence on this blessed dirtpile we call home. Tsk tsk, children. While us grown-ups are busy inventing exciting new technologies to make your stay on earth and elsewhere that much more wholesome and worthwhile, you are frittering away your halcyon days in a state of cyncial despondence. Life has value, you know.

Damn, man.
This was enjoyable, yet depressing as hell.
