some venting from my empty mind

i. life

life is short, but it hurts the whole way.

pleasure doesn’t last.

pain does.

everything born is already dying.

ii. humanity

humans are selfish.

we take, we break, we consume.

we dress it up as “progress.”

but deep down it’s just destruction.

iii. the ego

the ego is a lie.

it keeps you chained, whispering that you matter.

it blinds you, feeds you illusions.

kill the ego and you kill the cage.

iv. pain

there is no escape from pain.

but pain shows the truth.

the ones who endure without illusions

are freer than the ones chasing joy.

v. death

death isn’t the enemy.

it’s the silence waiting at the end.

the only rest the world can’t take from you.

vi. the puppeteers

the rulers watch.

they record. they measure. they control.

they don’t want you free, they want you obedient.

they feed your ego so you don’t see the strings.

you think you’re living,

but you’re just a puppet.

vii. the path

don’t spread more pain.

don’t protect the lie.

don’t create new victims.

live, but don’t celebrate.

endure, but don’t deceive yourself.

never bow to the strings.

viii. liberation

kill the ego.

face the pain.

unmask the puppeteers.

accept deat

h.

that’s the only transcendence we’ll ever know.
