1.
Just look away. Buy the lie that there’s nothing you can do, no choices you can make, and no possibility of you ever being able to make enough of an impact on any situation to relieve its victims of even the slightest suffering. We all feel the guilt. We’re all human. We feel more than we see. We know more than we’re taught. The other is our self and the suffering is our own to bear.
2.
Human misery is forced upon one another by a culture’s need to defend its resources. Throughout history human has feared its own kind and the threat posed to the survival of its way of life. The sphere has closed, but the weak are still being crushed. Your ancestry is theirs.
3.
The mighty human can’t stop polluting itself long enough to find another way. Once God’s divine creation, now the virus-ridden accident of evolution, it still thinks it owns the world. All the while, it invents new ways to eradicate itself, its own worst enemy.
4.
Enshrouded by decay, the larva conforms to its environment. The carrion spreads, bred to feed the machine. A new hoard of drones enters a world ready for its labor. Fueling the Information Age, a growing mass of human maggots crawl home to wither in a new dark age. Ignorance Enforcement. Sustenance Denied by Law. Punished by Greed. Abandoned by God. The process that created them gave them no will to resist.
5.
Oil Removed 03:29
Dependent upon rape to survive every day, but your victim is dead. And she gave you life. Jones for the fuel, 0il Junkie. Killing for more, like a fiend. Stumble and fall, weak and sick. Tapped the vein once too often. Oil Removed. Human Failure Human chose its fate. Efforts to escape the hell that we create may prove to be too late. Crushed by the wheels of consumption, choked by the air we breathe. Blind to the effects of our actions. Made to believe that we had no choice.
6.
Stagnance 04:35
The closed mind of my species holds me down to force feed me a way of life I can’t conceive. Why not just let me believe reality? All our ancestors’ traditions have lost meaning through time. The human animal falls prey to it’s own ignorance and failure to evolve beyond the limits of the past. And now we’re trapped in a rotting pile of human misery and yet we carry on, afraid of change. Our survival depends on our ability to adapt to any kind of change, especially what we’ve caused ourselves. With yesterday’s solutions, we shall surely perish
7.
Worthless, lifeless being. Beaten beneath strain. A life gone to waste, struggling to exist. Born Into ruin, forced to find a way. Crushed by all the weight of a selfish world. Live to labor, cope with humans’ endless misery, Perish lonely and know no one cared. Bleak existence, fraught with anguish. Search for meaning - Finding nothing but more suffering. Life on earth - the product of celestial forces far beyond the tiny grasp of human control. Billions of years. Infinite evolution. Human existence amounts to the smallest sliver. Just one more attempt, our species is a dead end in a process that aims to achieve living perfection. Human’s failure to grow beyond its selfish hate will lead to a stronger strain free from human greed. We will see the rise of altruism and compassion on a scale never known to present day human beings. At that point what we know as human will be dead and a superior species will thrive.
8.
The Slave 05:24
Without cover she becomes inhuman like the pages in a book or the image on a screen. Her existence is no less valid than those that hold her down. His guilt is washed away. He hides the lie beneath his wealth and shame. Forced to walk behind, she remains second class. Stripped of her Self and of her dignity, denied the rotting human inside, allowed the only power that he wants her to have. The Slave.
9.
Born into a state of decay the spirit, like soil, erodes. Devoid of sustenance, all life withers. Infected from the beginning, bred of negativity. Engrave my hate in bitter skin. Drift into a comfortable abyss. Embittered from years of this, time and time again. My spirit has been soiled, maintained by perpetual hate. Incapable of growth, all seeds feed the disease. I'll always be alone, like I've been since I was born. A battered, weakened stray, embraced by my dejection. Yield to grasp of self-worthlessness Yield to grasp of self-worthlessness
10.
I've been baking all morning!
11.
Worthless Human – Senseless Sentience Selfish Infant - Plague of Life Force Barely a second has elapsed since we became self-aware and we’ve already foreseen our own self-destruction. Human being – a paradox. Gifted with means of communication, but no desire to use it. Only breed more hatred. Drown in greed and conquest. Self-polluted spirit. Bound by Nature to be nothing. Self importance is self-imposed suffering. Each flees the whole to hide inside a frail shroud. It rots from within and the human finds itself extinct.
12.
Draize 13:49
Mistake yourself for God, you rotting heap of carrion. Every small step for man is a giant blow to every other life form on this planet. Your quest for profit will be the end of all your kind. You've accepted failure as a means of sustenance. Help yourself to the Earth, eat yourself alive. Eventually you'll feel the burn. Eyeless, you'll see their pain. Now you know what it means to be inhuman. Wretched being. Flesh bound misery. Useless strain. Blind and unaware. Forced to be tool of industry. Waste of life. Lost to human greed and hatred. Existence? Made to suffer? This is not life. Inhuman killing species. Destroy at will for nothing. Vanity and paranoia bred by the culture controllers. Feeding humans lies for dollars. Breeding selfish human killers. More than any other species, humans create needless suffering. Why? Barbaric human ways stem from the primitive inside. The human animal: Dominant until extinction.
13.
Starvation 05:11
Waste away, useless being. Your frail life stripped of meaning. Reach out, you grasp nothing. Head down, you’ve been left out. Rotting, you see their faces smiling. Forced into hunger and desolate waste, away from the land of your ancestry. Make way for cows and industry. No room for the weak or idle strays. No means for survival or sustenance. Robbed of your rights and dignity so better folks can have luxury. They’ll never know who truly paid One more life crushed by greed, born to suffer the plight of humanity. Strain to find reasons to live as the world waits for your final breath. What kind of human contributes to the suffering of their own kind? Creatures of habit that can’t survive their own apathy
