Dystopia

The world is becoming an uncanny place. The night seems to not give way to the sun. It punishes the light for not allowing the shadows to roam free. Recently, my eyes received an update that I wasn’t aware existed before I witnessed it for myself. I see through the veil.

Every aspect of life is connected. Society is a very intricately designed environment that works to push the government’s agenda. The puppeteers pull the strings using laws that they created alongside their friends at the dinner table discussing people’s lives as they swallow handfuls of caviar. They shackle any persons that go against their wishes to manipulate the people.

The veil started thinning incrementally at first then all at once. Even when I spend quality time with my loved ones, or I’m out enjoying my city, I can’t help but see through the propaganda this society shoves down our throat disguised as freedom of choice in this capitalistic hellscape.

It's excruciating thinking about all of this all the time. Every situation I encounter reminds me of a societal issue that has been systematically put into place. The people I am closest to understand these issues at hand but I seem to be in an isolating bubble where these thoughts are constantly reminding me that they exist. The words bounce around in my bubble and seep into my brain.

Constant loops of words that are agonizing to metabolize.

Born into a society so blind to the truth. They crown capitalism as their king. A wrong monarchy of power hungry aliens. Money runs through their veins. Keeping their disciples at their knees. Pleading for just enough to live. It is said that He will open the gates upon Earth and demons will roam. Cities will burn. I'm confused though. I thought that was already going on. I see demons all around me. Acceleration is rebellion towards modern day society. We are leaning on a post made up of broken down wood. Past the point of reconstruction. This government’ s safe haven is Hellfire. I mean oblivion. Absolution from the sins committed. The wrong kind of blood ascended into power by capitalism and corrupted democracy. I mean oligarchy. I mean fascist country. Brain washing those who neglect doing the research. Without us, we the people, there would be no government. That’ s why they do everything they can to keep us weak and on our knees. Ignorant. Compliant. Subservient.

My dissociation allows the days to bend space and time. How can I blink my weeks away? How could I find myself unaware of time I simply lost because of my willingness to disconnect from the moment in front of me? Society keeps taunting me. The veil begs me to try to understand it but even the devil would become a benefactor of my empathy if I spend enough time trying to understand the past that shaped it.

I can hear our ancestors cry and plead for us to fight for our lives. To fight for our rights. To fight against evil and tyranny. The women who gave birth to the world hurt as they fall to the ground after father patriarchy keeps striking them down. The voices screaming out haunt my reality.

The thoughts continue. They pace inside my bedroom and make their way deep inside my mind.

In this inexplicable world that has modernized all of the comforts of our lives, I rather be in solitude with my own thoughts. Everyone around me seems so concerned with their smartphones. Constantly fighting for electrical outlets. Checking regularly as to not be disconnected from the world while they ignore what’ s right in front of them. A shell of the society we live in disgusted as a utopia brought to you by your cell phone provider. Instead of living like we were meant, we tore down the forest and built factories in their place. We invented the CEO position and created overnight shipping. Capitalism was invented as a way of trade. Money for products made at home. Then came the industrial revolution and screwed us all. Modern capitalism is people finding ways to sell the gunk between their toes. Our society has wrapped itself around a money tree and they're trying to tear it out trying to profit from it. Doing anything to get money we don’t need to buy unnecessary objects that hurt the environment. New products at our disposal every single hour of the day. Our banks are our church. Amazon is our God. Our credit cards are our worship songs. It has all become this way for our convenience they say and sell to us. Zoos were enticing until we started feeling the same symptoms as the animals because of this systematic, exploitative society. We dug a hole so deep into our comfort zone. Turned our lifestyle into a life sentence serving the greedy stakeholders of the world. Endless pits of disgust, temporarily satiated when fed blood. When will enough be enough?

I constantly have to reassure myself that the veil is showing me something. Almost like a serial killer leaving clues at the crime scene. I’m sure I’m not the only one with this x-ray vision trying to decipher what this all means. All I can do is tune into the station that is playing the song of deceit.

The beginning of time. The evolution of humans. Resource control. Organized society. Ownership of land. Patriarchy. War. Control of women’ s bodies. Women’ s health care and abortions. Lineage and eugenics. Moral conditioning. Religious doctrine. Norms, customs, traditions. Social conformity. Nationalism. Capitalism. Wage labor. Domestication. Gender roles. Nuclear family dynamics. Emotional neglect and misunderstanding. Beauty standards. Body surveillance. Diet culture. Rising cost of living. Hustle culture. Chronic burnout. Pay gap. Maternity leave. Lobbying corporations against the people. Social media. Algorithm based reality. Fast fashion. Over consumption. Stakeholders. Student debt. Medical debt and insurance. Hyper individualism. Wealth concentration. Segregation. Systematic oppression. Delayed adulthood. Housing crisis. Insurance dependency. Retirement anxiety. Isolation. Therapy commodification. Self optimization obsession. Decline of third spaces. Transactional relationships. Digital dependency. Identity fragmentation. Existential fatigue. Etc, etc, etc…

Society yearns for a leash. We think we need a domesticator. Forgetting that we were raised by the wolves that wonder the wild during the dead of night. We forget that yes, the colonizers’ blood runs in my veins, but the blood of the ones that bled are also inside of me. I come from every particle in this world. Desire pumps through my veins, raging for change. Just because I wear rose colored glasses doesn’t mean I’m blind to it. They keep me from going insane but I know the reality we live in. I can read the fine print now. You all have blindfolds on. I will take them off. All there is left to do is try. Try to decipher these mad thoughts.
