The Last Thing

Once upon a time...
I'm not sure people really appreciate how brief life is. For some folks, this brevity is realized in a form of nihilism, that we have an awareness between two forms of oblivion and thus nothing matters. For others, this briefness is like a temporary stay while eternity awaits after.
I don't know why, in the brief time we have, people decide it's best to be cruel to others. To upset them, to make them cry, to get them to kill themselves. I don't know why people support laws that hurt other people, that marginalize groups, or that ensure an adult woman must die giving birth. I don't know why, when someone says they are observing a day of mourning the first thing that comes into someone's head is 'that's nice, but let me butt in on this and upset you even more--it's not about me enough'.
We do not know what the last thing we will say or do will be, but I hope whatever mine is, is an act of kindness and not cruelty.

Prince had a moment like this. He was set to release an album called "The Black Album," which he said was created when he was angry and full of hate. Late one evening, he had a vision/epiphany/experience in which he died and that album was his last message to the world.
He then pulled the album from release and spent six weeks producing a new album, a more positive one with message he could leave behind and feel satisfied with. The album was titled, "LoveSexy," and was a unique one full of better messages.
Hopefully, we all do something good before it's all over.
it pains me, gare, to continually show you that "vicious" side of me: touting [unpleasant means] as the ultimate, and sole, method for a chance to reform, what seems to be, an otherwise-doomed race ({in}human)
i wish to argue to you, my actual affinities-of-comport_&_bearings are, largely, diametrically-opposed to the shell of "humanity" i have found myself living in, from the first time someone else's intervention´d compelled me to partake of an apple from the tree of ``knowledge´´
i don't want my dying words to be a curse; however, as one of society's ostensive, forgotten, black sheep, it appears extremely-likely such shall be the case
now, whether i invoke this curse on my own behalf, or for the behalf of the billions of unfortunate souls who deal with malady 7,492,003x worse than anything i have ever endured, remains-yet to be seen
i should hope, indagare, if nothing else, my cursing is noble
aye.
