I Ponder the the future

Ideas they flow around, my like a maddening rush of waves in the surf, relentless but seemingly pointless. The ideas i grasp them, hold them, realize things then they are gone. What is the point. My mind wants to explode, i want to run and hide. Yet, yet why i wonder why? What is the point of my brain it seems to serve no purpose yet it tortures me with so much yet delivers so little.

So i gaze upon the world, i watch the images on the TV the patterns are all so comprehensible. So America funds Pakistan, the Pakistanis are hooked on the finances so they don't advance, yet, yet its choices are simple. Encourage education and population restraint otherwise you will descend into choas. We always veer towards a balance, we follow underlying rules. The rules though are so painful to acknowlege and they relegate the human being. We so want to believe in magic, we watch Rock concerts, we salute our rock gods we want to be elevated above the normal, above the animal. There are great humans, those who are off the scale but we are an animal following fundamental rules written by our planet, by our genes, by our geography, by our technology. We must acknowledge them to progress and move forward we must accept the animal in us and the basic biological, geological and geographical framwork that forms part of us and our existence.

So as we heat our houses as we eat from cans as we ignore our heritage, our past we ignore our future. We must accept the animal in ourselves to move forward, we must accept he planet, we must accept risk, we must acknowledge who we are.
