The world is continuously moving in its own axis, like a jet on autopilot mode or like a butterfly going through its metamorphosis. It is a bullet on the go, selfish enough to strike through whatever that blocks its way. A bird may die, a plant may rot or an ocean might dry. Nevertheless, the world, that self-centered thing, doesn’t care nor mind. It will not even show a bit of distress, regret or concern. Instead, it is a blind man, justly oblivious of the world that lies in front of him.
I wonder what it feels like to have a life. Having to breathe fresh air, run like you’re running for your life and eat until your tummy feels like it’s about to blow. If only I could, I would sue whoever finished mine. My unused life, my worthless existence, oh, justice needs to be served right now. I didn’t even felt how it is to live. Oh, what an unfair dwelling.
People do things without thinking, not realizing what consequences might haunt them afterwards. Doesn’t this place which I once thought as a place of enchantment have regulations to abide? There are laws pertaining to this matter, aren’t there? Well, although those exist, how come certain people, including myself, are deprived of something that indeed truly matters? Let’s say, life, for instance. How about it, huh?
Who are they to tolerate this act? Who are they to even do this unforgivable deed? Who are they to take a life from an unborn but fair-deserving child? Who?? Who are they?!
This uneasiness and confusion that lies beyond my thoughts will forever hang about there. They will stay there along my never-ending whereabouts about the world I almost saw. Well, I guess this is it. This bitterness currently at hand will always be with me till the end of time. If it has an end, that is.
