You look around today and you realize the apocalypse didn’t sneak up on us — we scheduled it.
We penciled it in between the wars, the shortages, the floods, and the price hikes.Everybody’s yelling about the next conflict, the next country on fire, the next government screwing up, and nobody stops to ask the obvious question:
Was any of this ever going to work?We’ve got nations lobbing bombs, economies wobbling like a drunk on roller skates, and half the planet arguing about who’s to blame while the other half is underwater.
Food’s getting harder to grow, fuel’s getting more expensive, and somehow the billionaires keep getting richer — must be a coincidence, right?Jobs vanish, prices explode, storms get bigger, tempers get shorter, and every politician swears they’re the only one who can fix it.
Sure.
And I’m the Tooth Fairy with a pension plan.The future?
Oh, the future’s coming — limping, coughing, and asking if anyone’s got a spare planet lying around.
But don’t worry, they’ll tell you everything’s fine.
Just keep buying stuff, keep voting for the same clowns, keep pretending the system isn’t held together with duct tape and denial.Because here’s the punchline, folks you’re not watching the world fall apart.The world isn’t ending.
It’s just finally being honest with us.
You’re watching it follow instructions.We’ve got wars flaring up like bad habits,
governments arguing over who gets to push which button,
and half the planet pretending the other half doesn’t exist.Food’s getting harder to grow because we poisoned the soil and acted surprised when the crops didn’t clap for us.
Fuel prices shoot up like they’re trying to escape the planet,
and every company calls it ‘market forces’
while they quietly raise the price of breathing.Floods wash out cities, fires torch the rest,
and the weather’s so confused it needs therapy.
But don’t worry — they’ll tell you it’s all under control.
Just ignore the smoke, the shortages, the layoffs,
and the fact that your paycheck now buys half a sandwich
and a pat on the back from someone who’s also drowning.And the future?
Oh, the future’s not coming to save you.
The future’s sitting in the corner,
laughing its ass off,
because it knows we built this mess ourselves
and then acted shocked when the bill showed up.
