This is my "likeness" depicting human disgrace and shame,
the repository of our many faults, a final "Epitaph".
Clearly to any enlightened observer we humans have ignored trivialized
and dismissed the genuine reality of planetary being. As a result we
have been freed up intellectually to savage and plunder our only supporting
life giving base. Humanity has adopted this destructive path, to fashion
and mold our civilization on the unstable quicksands of our perceived
industrial might. All of it has been done under that presumption of
imagining ourselves as somehow being above our true seminal mud evolved
origins. We falsely believe that we have been inspired by divinities
who appear to reside in a mythical "sky". As a result we humans
always pray looking up believing in our imaginary illusions and not
down to where we were actually birthed.
Despite our highly egocentric religious natures, our planetary civilization
appears headed directly towards immanent self annihilation. Our soon
downfall and decent into a climate induced dog eat dog chaos, is being
brought on by our overly swift, none organically in tune ascendancy.
Our extreme dependency on a fossil fuel stoked industrial reign, that
we are all so seemingly proud of, so much so that we literally take
it for granted. As well as our unsustainable artificially concocted
commercially stocked reality, that has been birthed out of rampant grasping
material greed, and which will quite clearly lead us directly towards
a lethal planetary catastrophe. Unfortunately under our current highly
polluting mercantile civilizing formulation, this fatal reality is now
quite certain and no longer simply the speculation of those fringe environmentally
protective elements in society. In the end it will be quite life threatening
and very reality devastating, literally to every manifestation of life
this planet has managed to organically manifested. In
the ensuing decades here on this miracle of a unique cosmic oasis, there
are going to be increasingly horrific human induced planetary wide flora
and fauna life extinction events occurring continually. The biosphere
which even now has a fever and has become unpredictably destabilized
is obviously wobbling itself towards faltering. A reality that is clear
to those few among us who are actually paying attention to their surroundings.
Will soon no longer due to a rapid planetary temperature rise that will
provoke climate and seasonal instability, be able to continue supporting
or encouraging symbiotic organic life. Organically manifested life requires
the certainty of defined seasons and the stability of growing routine
to thrive flourish and mature. Life does not survive well in the chaos
of a highly fluctuating unstable supporting system, which we billions
of humans are literally forcing upon the biosphere through our uncaring
ways.
The absolute bottom line truth is, here on our only home world, we are
apparently callous heartless and more importantly completely un-evolved
cosmically soulless planetary beings. Especially so here in North America
and no doubt elsewhere, we are some how willing to pray looking up to
highly irrational concepts of human imagined gods for our salvation
and redemption. Intellectual realizations we have conceived just to
try and explain our existence and purpose here in this cosmos. But the
reality is these gods we so fervently pray too literally do not exist,
except in our insane demented realizations of them. All the while we
foolish organic beings are in the process of slowly strangling, literally
murdering our true birthing Mother. The one and only genuine creator,
our eons long provider and the faithful sustainer of organic life, this
alive one in cosmic billions fertile Mothering Planet.
We humans it seems are exactly like wayward destructive adolescents,
vandalizing and graffiting the eons old symbiotic environment through
our continuous reckless eco-raping, commercial pillaging, and industrial
plundering. Not to mention our highly destructive carbon off gassing
from burning the planet's ancient safely stored fossil fuel carbon sinks,
which powers and propels just about everything there is in our civilization.
With the result that we are fatally poisoning, literally trashing the
delicately evolved and organically balanced living synergetic cosmic
womb of life.
We are literally, in our total blindness to the genuine reality of planetary
existence, killing off the fundamental core impulse for cosmic life.
We are irresponsibly forcing the blackness and stench of death upon
the light of symbiotic succor, guidance and encouragement that's to
be found in a genuine organic life stream, here on this inspired womb
of planetary existence.
This living world is a symbiotically manifested and clearly evolutionarily
driven, endless life and sentience providing, primary Mother Cosmic
Planet. At this very moment it is being raped and strangled to death
by her own sentient, ignorant ruthless children. Our fertile planet
is sadly in the process of becoming an irretrievably and fatally brutalized
casualty of continued human growth, polluting activities and carelessness
during this present era, the anthropogenic epoch. It is clear that this
mutilation of cosmic reality and the cold blooded assassination of planetary
existence that is now clearly unfolding. Is being perpetrated by the
planet's unworthy greedy grasping sentient issue. The
majority of humans on this planet would never admit to themselves or
others, that we have evolved into cruel uncaring industrially devouring
monsters. We clearly are in the process of devastating the pristine
organic reality, and in turn that lack of caring will certainly end
up destroying us. In
the end this gross violation of planetary moral and ethical organic
codes and boundaries, the spoliation and cruel uncaring murder of primary
planetary existence, is going to be scarred into the planet's lash marked
back as humanities true and undeniable long lasting Epitaph.
