You would think
that people would naturally strive for better,
learn from their mistakes,
make better choices.

But no,
it seems that this world’s souls
have been kidnapped by the evil Wetiko,
in more numbers than one would have imagined,
driving them down the destruction path,
spiralling into an infinite abyss of darkness.

Where once there was a sense of excellence,
of beauty, and what looked like true love,
is no longer there.
Their inner compass
is nowhere to be seen.
They no longer discern between right or wrong,
and they choose bad because they see it as good.
Then they curse their luck,
wondering why they’re so miserable,
why they aren’t happy,
they can’t see what’s in front of them,
the path to their salvation.

So you helplessly see them walking towards a precipice
And you can’t stop them from falling.

In most cases,
when someone hits rock bottom,
they usually reflect and change.
But some people no,
they continue to fall and fall and fall,
wantedly, purposely, intently, willingly,
repeating the same patterns
by choice,
just because they have to be right
even when the universe and everything around them
is screaming that they’re not.

Some people enjoy being in a constant dark pit of despair,
because then they don’t have to be responsible for anything,
they can always play the victim
and steal the light from others.
It’s the easy way out…
to more of the same
… nothingness.
