I drink a couple cans of anger to quell the voices and the endless howl of nervous energy and screams that come from the barren void. I am a doom prophet. I look to the past and the sun and the stars to read the future. A future, as Nostradomus pointed out many moons ago, that heads to Armageddon. As a doom prophet I point out what I see. As a doom prophet I paint no Rosy pictures, and as a doom prophet I must say that the worst can be avoided if people pay attention to the warnings, but sadly they never do. They laugh us off as crackpots and psycho's, but they will see, if they just be quiet and listen to their inner voice, put out the inner fire with a little smoke as it were, and pace on.

What is there to do? Where do the stories come from? Is there ever anything fresh and new anywhere or is it all one bottomless cup of trumped up garbage? Of course it is, but there are telling signs that point to the end of it all. Of course the Mid East has been a contentious problem for thousands of years, warring and fighting for the same old reasons, but 2000 years ago they didn't have nuclear and chemical weapons. We must begin to agree that we all belong on this Earth, to an evil incantation of stone cold hard time, a stint full of bad meals and bad books and the same damned movie over and over again, of finding your dream job and knowing it's screwed from the get go. As a prophet I find this a boring and barbaric form of restitution, for what I don't know. Eternal Sameness. To be stuck here trying to figure out what it is we did in the first place that got us sentenced here. It's an eye for a misplaced testicle. It just doesn't make any sense, that you'll just never know what's missing. Maybe you're not supposed to find out.

Hell, I'd like to know what's missing that I'm never gonna' find out about. I'd like to taste foods I don't know exist. I'd like to experience things I'm not capable of thinking about, but I'm not certain if I even recognize what I see... or if any of the madness even makes sense?

Then I remember, I dropped out of high school out of boredom and I work in intangibles that most people don't understand, read the Bible, read the Qu'ran. They will offer the answers to the questions that most people think, but doom prophets must read between the lines, they must watch their surroundings and learn to understand people and events like they are reading tea leaves at will. There is more to this universe than what is apparent to the naked eye. All you have to do is ask any honest scientist their opinion and they would tell you, the Universe is not what it appears. Why do you think the Davinci Code sold as well as it did, because we are a world full of conspiracy theorists? No, of course not, it's because the plot seemed plausible and made sense and everyone knows in that place deep down where they don't want to look, that I speak the truth. Something is not right, and soon, all will be wrong. There are too many chicken litle's these days for most people to listen to their souls and heed the obvious warning signs. The Earth's climate is changing; both temperature and temperament wise, and soon enough we will make mistakes that can't be undone. Those aren't firecrackers that psycho over in North Korea is setting off.
