I have no qualms with watching the world burn down -

.

We set the kindling, poured the napalm and placed the magnifying glass

.

Before affronting each other with shock and horror

.

After mother nature lit the match.

.

.

I have no qualms with that -

.

We brought this upon ourselves -

.

And though it might very well become

.

My generation's inheritance,

.

I still feel that we deserve it somehow.

.

.

My friends really did die -

.

Alcohol related suicides, 

.

Inter-generational trauma 

.

And the colonial enterprise.

.

.

I really did see that.

.

.

And I feel that if redemption were to exist,

.

It would be so neutral in its practice 

.

That it'd probably seem ambivalent -

.

.

A thoughtless fire,

.

A thoughtless war,

.

A thoughtless poem

.

And a thoughtless, global suicide.

.

.

I have no qualms with that.

.

.

It's a nihilistic drink,

.

A pessimistic notion,

.

and it won't bring justice back -

.

.

For make no mistake,

.

Justice died a long time ago,

.

If it ever even existed to begin with - 

.

.

But I feel that to die that way

.

Would be so Karmatic

.

.

That I'd have to force myself not to laugh.

.

One of my Godfathers is in your hemisphere, and I know it's probably pretty hot where you are (I actually thought about you both as I was writing this) but a part of me still feels that way and I felt it was important to get it out of my system somehow

Obviously I exercise some poetic license when I say stuff like this, but I'm still really glad for your presence An - I hear you may have gotten some rain recently, and I hope you and yours are okay
