and it's up to us to make life a more enjoyable ride.

Cheers Justin. Love this ode. Keep creating.

and attempt to be whole
to fill the inner hole

in these times it's important to remember what keeps us going. i've been trying to write more as an outlet and this is something i came up with last weekend in the midst of a crisis. i find the same theme reoccurring in my works but whatever lol. enjoy:

the hopeless question of life after death

music or pictures or films or essays or poems

that redefine and challenge the notion of what we consider to be reality.

organizational structures that root us safely

in the comfort of ignorance and woefully hopeful belief that we are befallen in this world with some sense of order.

and it’s up to us to agree or disagree with their perspectives.

telling us what to think and how to feel and why we care,

this group of daring courageous brave individuals use their mediums as protests against the myopic distillation of the world we are spoon fed from birth.

optimistically we all have 100 years on earth:

from san francisco to perth to mumbai to paris to cairo

we meet the same fate and end up at heaven or hell’s gate

because no one, not even the world’s best scientists have an idea of where we go after we die

what matters is now - today - and what we make of it.

you can either choose to live in blissful ignorance and fail to make a mark

or you can live to create and create to love

something that might change the mind of 1 or 10 or 100 or 1000 or 8 billion people

something that makes it easier for others to make it though this arduous, dangerous, ultimately pointless process we call life.
