Happier Blind
I turned off my television
Last week and
Decided to escape
The bad news and
Endless noise of
Humanity screaming
In my ears.
If the world is going to end
In fire and flames or
Sickness and death or
Civil War
I’d rather not see
It coming.
I’d rather be sitting far
Off in a cabin somewhere
When the bombs hit
Or the plague
Spreads or whatever
Abominations from the
Book of Revelation
Materialize.
Better to live 100%
Of your life to the fullest
Than 90% in fear and
Dread.
