One of the first things I learned
From fiction
Being a human's best reflection on
The sort of ideas
Other humans think about,
Down to the abstract and the extreme,
Simple daily motive

Seems to show
More often than not
People will choose to be hollow
Achieving learned helplessness
Through the ideal
The future will one day
Make life easy

Never preparing for the hard things
Trained not to stand up against
The majority
Pretending they are doing what is
Best for everyone
Perpetuating diseases and gossip
Ignoring moths in the attic

It is easier to be miserable
Complain about the things you
Cannot control
Instead of doing the hard work to
Achieve something better
Letting it all collapse before it even
Started
