Kubler-Ross Depression Redux

Eventually one can’t ignore

How bad is the shit that’s in store;

It’s never much fun,

But it’s got to be done:

I’m back again working Stage 4. 

Save the World?

Save the world? Naw, might as well quit:

It’s over, we ain’t savin’ shit;

Instead, let’s reflect

On the places we’ve trekked,

And start writing up our obit. 

It’s Over

You can wipe that frown from your brow,

We got here, though no one knows how;

Whatever you do,

We’re not going to pull through,

So relax: it’s all over now. 

Blame Game

Blame is a mental invention

Which justifies cruel intention;

Due to guilt removal,

There’s more self-approval

And less psychological tension.

“Senseless” Killing

“Is there a difference in the brains...?”

Neural pathways inside our head

Come from genes and the way we are bred,

But we won’t understand

How our actions are planned

Before we all wind up dead. 

Plenty of Hate

“...the undercurrents of hatred thrumming just below the surface are likely to explode out into the open and threaten to consume us all.”

http://billhicksisdead.blogspot.com/2012/07/hate-lies-waiting.html

We’ll run out of food for our plate,

And places where heat’s not too great,

We’ll run out of debate

When it’s clearly too late,

But we’re not going to run out of hate.

Method in the Madness

Guy McPherson asks, “Is it possible for a scientist to die from a broken heart?”

http://guymcpherson.com/2012/07/global-madness/

Anyone’s heart can go bust

In a world that’s unfair and unjust,

But with science we see

The way things have to be,

And how they proceed as they must.

Faith vs. Reason

We evolved from bestiality

Without formal logic mentality,

So our likely response

To reverse Renaissance

Will be faith trumping rationality. 

Normal Baseline Mind

Evolution has come to prescribe

Human life in a small, simple tribe,

So it doesn’t improve

When the mind tries to groove

To a complex industrial vibe. 

Crazy Talk

When telling folks how things have changed

Results in your feeling estranged,

You’re being observant:

Though you think you’re fervent,

They think you’re completely deranged.

Anticipatory or Preparatory Grief

Our preps include psychic numbing,

A kind of emotion down-dumbing;

We use it as pre-

PTSD

And we hope helps deal with what’s coming.

Doomer Forums Can Help

A doom forum’s good for your brain:

When you’re freaking, it helps you maintain;

Regular attendance

Can lead to dependence,

But at least you won’t go insane.

A Couple of Weeks?

“Mysterious bubbles are rising up out of an Assumption Parish bayou....Boudreaux has taken samples of the bubbles and sent them off for testing. Those samples are expected back in the next couple of weeks.”

Some lab tests by which one discerns

Basic nature, a good doomer learns;

A quick test for gas

From sea, tap or ass:

Light a match, and see if it burns.
