Crude Over Gasoline

Folks dig these ideas of freshness. No preservatives. From the farm to the table. Somehow these ideas exist even in a packaged world. Where we receive our goods via mail. Where safety and security are a must. These accessories are so prominent that we have special pickup. Recycling centers and protocols. A person is looked at as wasteful if they do not participate. Yet, the revolutionary mindset is to one-step eating directly from the field.

Without the processing items would spoil quickly. Compost heaps and soil taking back our waste. However, with each step of preservation comes the wicked infinite of leaving carbon footprints. One that no rain will wash away. No matter the natural disaster, over every height of water from each strong superstorm the debris will survive. Unable to drown and without percolation, these altered experiments are irreversible.

We’ve figured that with calculation these items will breakdown. No longer posing a threat. Each of these being a mathematical uncertainty in an evolving world.  As the Earth heats… processes accelerate from our double standards. The centrifuge we began- has mutated consequences.

As we preserve each of ourselves the increased lifespan begins to further corrode our planet. Overpopulation leading to exponential waste and crooked qualities of life. These selfish choices mean longevity at the compromise of evolution. Using words like technology and industry, we further infuse the scorched Earth tactics which leave us pack-rats in a shrinking bubble.

In another time, without vaccinations and artificial changes… without surgically prolonging life and economically cannibalizing ourselves… Lifestyles embraced dignity and honor. A cooler mortal coil with untapped terrain was a place of clear skies. The plains vast and water a sanctuary above the crude we would come to spill on its journey to being refined.

The lengthy journey of fossil fuels from ages past. We bring them back and risk our future. Running a modern world off the decay of our predecessors. Secrets better left buried. Like so many agendas we engineer. Leading toward a more perfect lie. Less human than ever before.

Advancing to a theology against medication. Resisting nature’s design to use our fangs and devour flesh. A world where diseases and devastation utilize ecology. Mankind fabricates in a quest to advance. Subsequently Mother Nature swiftly disarms all progress without hostility. Physics are figured using the forces of nature. Seeking to improve the world that was perfect already… Our humanity and values, meanwhile, are bygones.
