The best we can hope for is to be aware of the decay. If we're aware, then there is some slight hope that we might be able to make an impact in the things that we see around us, affecting the massive change that's occurring all around us, all the time. People seem to be quite eager to assume that change is a gradual, slow process, but really they are only looking at things in terms of the narrow change of the social order, which I'll regard in a later entry. In this entry, I regard change in a larger term: that of the world around us. The world in which we, human beings, exist, is in a state of decay. At this point, I feel it's best to assume that we've pushed things beyond any state of repair. Even if this isn't the case, it needs to be realized that those in power exert such complete control over the rest of us that, even if things could be made better, we won't be given the opportunity to make them so. So, as far as I can tell, the best we can hope to do is understand the manner in which things are falling apart. Then, maybe, something can be punished.

If I were filled up with red wine
I might be feeling better
in fact I might be feeling fine
But now I just wish all the time
that I were somehow less inclined
to want to end this tenure
