Nothing lasts
Not your stupid democracy
Not your fallacy of origins
Not your existence in any form remains
Gone gone gone beyond
To the dustbin of historical idiocy written by fools
Don’t bother rebuilding the same house, ridge pole shattered, no walls🙏🏽

Oh what a beautiful world
May we all have good health, happiness & peace
Live as one with nature
Watch contact & feeling
Notice Dissatisfaction
This is nature of existence
Arising from contact all nature of suffering arises
It passes moment to moment
Watch your mind
Be guarded one moment & next 🙏💙🙏

Wondering if a bullet ricocheting off a bulletproof vest into the neck made an accidental death out of a staged assassination attempt to create a martyr & reason for the coming atrocities? 🤔
