= "Embrace" by Josh W. =

Embrace the destitute wastelands around you friends. Cherish the lack of morals, faith, intelligence, mercy, and caring the spews fourth from the hideous mouth of the modern world. Pick up the banner of the down trodden, hopeless, pathetic masses that we are today. Worship upon the altar of the artificial that we have created for our selves. Accept the society that is, forget the past that was, and the future that could be. Look forward on our path and stare in to the eyes of death and despair. Abandon all, for what will it matter when all vanishes. We are a world teetering on the edge of destruction, let us weigh down one end and send the entire thing over. Give up my friends; give up for there is nothing left. We are a civilization destined for self destruction. Let the rotting world die. Let humanity disappear. We are a self destructive race, why should we deny who we are?

Abandon all hope ye who enter here, more like abandon all hope ye who gets in our way. Pick up the banner of reform, sound the trumpets of change, hark the heralds of betterment. We will save this planet, our home, from the inevitable destruction that haunts it. The damage wreaked by our hand will be remedied by those very hands. Come hell or high water we will change! For if we do not hell or high water will come. Talk is cheap, action is as precious as gold. Take up the cause friends! Save the planet, our homes, our lives, humanity before it’s too late! Natural selection favors the strong and resourceful, we must survive, we must be strong, and we must be resourceful. Strive, for we only have one home, one life, one future.

Our planet is upon a precarious balance. Nuclear charged war machines can be set off any instance. The planet is succumbing to the poisons of man and is now beginning to show the symptoms. Resistance diseases have begun to abound and yet immunity is given out on whim. More people come into this world daily; more crops are removed to make way for the dwellings of these new members. Nature is destroyed to be replaced by the artificial; connection is replaced by the ever growing friends list. Love has be shortened to <3, happiness to :D, depression to :(, confusion to O_o, and the list could go on. The world is changing, approaching a destination of destruction, our emotions are dulling, our connections our fading, our principles disappearing, our humanity vanishing. Shall we embrace this new culture of the end? Or shall we fight for a better tomorrow? The choice is yours, the individual; let’s just hope the majority agrees with you. Embrace that around you friends, for on our current course, it may be all you ever know.media type="file" key="joshw-muckraker-0910.mp3"
