We Are So Lucky

Feces
spits up at you
from the toilet,
you go and try and wash it off
and urine
comes out of the faucet.

Imagine
this
and all the conveniences
of everyday modern life
fading away
with each passing second.

No more
internet,
no more
television,
no phone,
no electricity
whatsoever.

Nothing left,
but time
and everlasting misery.

Everything
shattered and rotting
for no reason.

What's your next move?

You have no guns.

You cannot survive.

The world
is more psychotic, depraved
and hateful
than anybody
has ever seen.

Your family
forced to live
in the sewers,
where they search
for pennies
and dead rats.

Your mother, wife, daughter
raped and mutilated
right before your closed eyes.

All you can smell
is the pain.

Your father, brother, son
tortured and slaughtered
or at the very least,
sold into slavery.

All you can feel
is the torment.

The only glimmer
of hope
is that one day
the sun
won't shine.

The only prayer
to God
is that one day
there will be
no more suffering.

Because
they will be
nobody
left.

The only way
for you
to feel grateful
today
is to realize
this could happen
tomorrow.
