12 Axioms Of The Apocalypse

"These final hours embrace at last; this is our ending, this is our past."

"And the meek shall inherit the earth..."

If you were God, would you trust you with the planet? Meek yourself up then and get ready, crying time is coming (actually, much of it is already here). As we descend into the chaos and despair of our law and order, the stones we rejected will become the building blocks of our future. The truth of our self-betrayal will come unmercifully to light in our time of frying.

The bedrocks of the everlasting world will revert our perverted planet into the paradise it was always meant to be. Our shackles will fall off in newfound faith. Volcanoes will erupt with flowers, seas will sing with waves of joy, forests will foster our future. You know this to be true.

After we pass through our (incredibly cruel and painful) birthing pains, new axioms will replace the garbage we foolishly trust today. And in that vein, I give you the 12 Axioms of the Apocalypse to help de-gaslight the current rot that surrounds us and confounds us:

  • Opposite of Love is Death
  • Opposite of Truth is Futility
  • Opposite of Cursed is Light
  • Opposite of Dreams is Idols
  • Opposite of Hope is Lies
  • Opposite of Negativity is Honesty
  • Opposite of Joy is Repression
  • Opposite of Life is Emptiness
  • Opposite of Warring is Communicating
  • Opposite of Freedom is Politics
  • Opposite of Art is Religion
  • Opposite of Doom is Nature

Note: This was inspired by Robyn O'Neil's great and fantastical exhibit We The Masses. I heard a museum person say "the message is dark", as if we are but helpless bystanders on our planet without a say. Truth is, we are the authors and creators of this world, and thus seeing we're on the wrong path, works like Robyn's give us the chance to correct our course. What the fuck is dark about that??
