Bye Bye World

 OK, I know I’m just old. But it is really beginning to feel as though humanity is coming to an end. First there’s this Climate Catastrophe. It is human induced, but now it has taken over on its own.   Yeah, it no longer needs humans to induce the end of humanity. But then, just to be sure, Vlad the Impaler, Trump’s BFF, decided that Ukraine was acting too independent, so that had to end. And so, Vlad has unleashed the powers of Russia’s War Machines on Zelensky & Co. Yeah, he’s engaged in killing as many Ukrainian humans as possible. And then Spain began falling apart with riots everywhere. Oh and then an apartment building in Brooklyn decided to just collapse.  You know, just for fun.

And then Trump shows up. Where? Well, anywhere really. He doesn’t need a reason or a special place. All he has to do is open the door and walk through and disasters begin to happen. OK, maybe that’s an exaggeration. It’s only every third or fourth time Trump opens and walks though a doorway.

So, I guess turning 91 last year really did change my view of the world. All I see now is humanity’s efforts to destroy everything. And while I know it won’t matter much for me, since I’m already way past my sell-by date, there are my grandkids, especially the ones not yet teenagers. They have a long life ahead of them, but we adults seem to be aiming at eliminating those long lives by ending Humanity’s place on Earth. Maybe we are just God’s really Big Fuckup.  Likely God should have stopped at squirrels, or maybe deer. Year, deer seem nice.  But no, she had to go and create these humans. So, what, were you on your third martini when you thought, “Yeah, I think I’ll create these creatures who can walk and talk and eventually create these things that fly up in the sky. That’ll be fun to watch.  Yeah, pops and I can sit with a nice glass of red wine and watch those critters cavort. Why Not? And so, without any serious thinking, God created some humans and then let them take off on their own.

And then?? Well, as soon as those humans were old enough they began fighting with one another. And then they created devices allowing them to kill even more of their own.  And then they got really good at killing and decided it was great fun and they would use it as a form of entertainment. And so, humanity became its own killing machine.

Oh, and they didn’t just kill other humans. No, Humanity decided to kill the entire Planet  by changing the underlying climate,.

Yeah, such fun. Well, Humanity, it’s been good to know ya. See ya around. By by World.
