Nebu La
I’m Dealing With A Global Fucking Crisis
My Love shall linger
Long after the pandemonium is over.
This shift is real.
Prevalent over the whole.
Chains of transmission take on the characteristics
Of hero or antihero.
A touch. A handshake. A kiss.
There isn’t a form of manipulation they don’t love
The first wave is a chorus of voices
And then the Germ is here to stay
It is almost a universal rite of passage
To want to eliminate death.
For if we are dead, there will be no burials.
We couldn’t be happier to find you a cure!
1% of people think of others.
What could go right if that distribution changes?
Think about the view of Earth from space today
“Capitalism. Closed for Business”
A repeated wave
