so loud

the unnerving disquiet, the discontent,
the seething outrage that seems constantly ready to boil over and spew its everlasting destruction on a world already bathed in oversensitive, hyperactive emotional overdrive.

everyone is exhausted,
everyone's bleeding hearts are exposed,
their naked, vulnerable, frightened inner children huddled and insecurely awaiting the judgement, the shaming, the public execution that is now commonplace.

"shame, and be shamed", "build your name on shame", "claim your fame", ride the trending topic du jour and stand on the necks of innocent and guilty alike as you reach for your 15 minutes of celluloid soapbox championship.

wouldn't it be wonderful if we used the same energy to build up with positivity instead of tearing down with negativity?


how much further advanced we'd be as a collective. this human race collective.
