I've Had Enough

Submitted by seanlovett on March 2, 2008 - 2:46am.

With all the problems we face today; social, economical, spritual, and personal, maybe it' time for it to be over.

I'm not a doomsdayer and I certainly won't quote scripture. However, if it were all to end tomorrow, how sorry would we really be? Somtimes, when I read the news, I lose faith. Well, it's not that hard for me. You see, I've done technical support for 10+ years. So I lost my faith in humanity long ago. But, what if, tomorrow was our last day on earth?

I know where I would be. This is because I've already made my peace with whatever higher power (we believe/not belive in) that I will answer to.

I will be on a beach listening to Tool's Aenima. Here's how it goes:

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It's a
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this

Stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit...

One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim.
Learn to swim.
Learn to swim.

Mom is going to fix it all soon,
Mom is coming round to put it back
the way it oughtta be...

Learn to swim.

Fuck L Ron Hubbard and
Fuck all his clones.
Fuck all these gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim.

Fuck retro anything.
Fuck your tattoos.
Fuck all you junkies and
Fuck your short memory.

Learn to swim.

Fuck smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
Fuck these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.

Learn to swim.

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.

PW and I have had our 'Stand' fantasy for years! Even though I don't really wish that most of the world will be killed off by some super-flu, it's still nice to indulge in the fantasy of being surrounded by people who are NOT pediphiles, racists, bigots, or murderers. People who actually work together instead of screwing everyone over to get ahead. Hell, there'd be no more "ahead"! Or, even living in a place where you could actually go to sleep with the doors unlocked if you felt like it!

Tool reference!! Woohoo! I read the first bit and immediately thought of that song.

I can't say I disagree. I saw a political cartoon this week. It had aliens in a spaceship, hovering above Earth. They said, "We came in peace, bringing with us the answer to global warming and... hey! Where're you going?" Meanwhile, a bunch of reporters are running away, screaming, "Oooh! Jennifer Lopez just gave birth to twins!"

The planet is going to end someday. For far too long, we've thought we were the dominant species. We're not even close. The universe is the dominant life force. No, I'm not going all new age on you, but hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, tsunamis, global warming, volcanoes, gamma ray bursts, or the sun just running out of fuel could toss us off this planet without a second thought. Here, we're destroying the planet, but mama's going to do what she needs to do to recover. And though it makes for some great lyrics, swimming won't help when she gets good and pissed.

The need to put names and dates and books behind it are all attempts to control mankind. The Indians had it pretty much nailed down by their praise of the earth and the environment. Too bad the religious zealots are not headlong into pressing that logic... That might actually take us somewhere instead of down the road of hate, greed, and power mongering...
Thank you for visiting American Rhetoric Review
