The Sludge 12!

"The Sludge is coming!! The Sludge is coming!!"

So this is how the world is going to be carrying itself.  Like a crutch, resting on the support. We have been sent here to carry the burdens, the sins of the earth. Containers to the sludge that crawls and weeps across the land, exterminators of evil. We let loose the ideas we have afloat in the mind and hope it transmit to any receivers out there ready to intake a different perspective on life.
The sludge, we usually disregard as the bullshit of the world, is climbing up my lower-parts, consuming life in its path. The sludge, slithers in all directions, making it impossible to track its movement patterns. But it has been a long while coming. 12 does seem farther in reach than I had thought, but its still worth it to give it a shot. "I'm optimistic" they tell me. 
These realists, are talking you down. Grabbing at your arms, trying to take you under. These realists want to stamp you with, well, reality, how unlikely your plans will succeed. These realists want you to join their ranks in disbelief of hope for humanity. They forgot that everyone is human, money isn't everything. Give to the poor, or at least give back to your community.
 
But to follow the bandwagon is much easier than going against the grain. Accepting the sludge and bullshit is far less hassle then defying and confronting the 'standard.' The 'standard' has built itself, on a platform protecting its ideas, guarding it from outsiders. My family told me to never take the easy route in life, you'll never learn any lessons. So we coexist with this sludge, sliding and colliding around us, hidden in the shadows of the corners. But it is time to now learn to not only cope but to fight the sludge. To take a stand to the bullshit of the world, when things don't make sense or when governments don't take blame. A stand to the powerful Media.  The gap between the rich & poor, social classes, inequalities, tyrants, and the war.

Stand up for whatever you believe in, don't always believe the television.
