The Decline of Civilisation

"Be

About

Something"

-Chuck D.

Guide on a Winding Path

I've come across so much random shit overtime

that has slowly become embedded into my character

I can now act as a signpost for the others who follow

they don't have to fall into the same traps hopefully

but can still obtain the knowledge that these mistakes bring

for I can warn of past injustice caused by stupidity

we have to remember or we will repeat these cycles

for way longer than we would have if we listened

if only there had been a myth or cave drawing to tell me

the last few generations were too preoccupied

to think about the future or their souls
