You said you'd wait until the end of the world....

For the oil spilling thousands of barrels in the ocean everyday for what seems like eternity destroying the fragile ecological balance of the gulf. For the Americans who are learning a hard lesson in Karma for your highways, hummers and oil guzzling drill baby drill ways, for Iran that don’t understand the word ‘sanctions’ for North Korea Kin who cant understand South Korea Kim, for Israel for turning Gaza into a glorified concentration camp to avenge the holocaust, for the planes crashing and burning in Libya, Afghanistan and India, for the suicide bombers the world over who are crossing their fingers to hit a jackpot of the worst kind, for the great pacific garbage patch slowly introducing death to our food chain, for the victims of the Bhopal gas tragedy who waited all their lives for justice too come to little and too late; for the zillions of red bull swilling twitterati who’s rage is a creative 7 word tweet, for the kids who’s idea of exercise is getting on a Wii Fit, for every fucking parent who nods in approval every time their child asks them ‘Mummy can I throw this’ before adding another plastic bag into a ravine in the Himalayas, for the 15 year old Nepali girls sold to the sex trade in India, for the Africans who know no better since the time a bottle landed from the sky in God’s must be crazy; for Jacob Zuma who can’t stop fucking everything he sees, for a prayer to god to please give inspiration to Pope Benedict to molest Justin Bieber, for the blind rut that religion today is stuck in, for Hindu godmen who’s greatest magic trick is not creating a gold necklace from ash but how they continue to enrapture millions into blind faith, for each Asian who thinks the white man is a god, for single friends who show you the left hand of fun, womanising and debauchery but cleverly hide that right hand of loneliness and despair, for Hollywood that produces mind numbing summer blockbusters that are ruining what film means to me, for the red and blue shirts in Thailand – get a new color you fucks, for me for letting it drift away...to see the sun shine on someone else's day.
....For all that, the end of the world is upon us. Goodnight and Fuck you.
