the foreword to hell

tattered sleeves will remain, the only connections between murders. shreds, hope, all theories retain a silence. we have absolved ourselves responsible, laughed at the buried-alive roots. ignorant to the future, we row on, steady with the current, until, gasp, the sudden remorse, the infinite wisdom of instinct. nothing could have prepared us for our pasts. nothing could have prepared us but our futures. hindsight, they say, is 20/20. i say 50/50. hell is tunneling its way up to meet us. set the cameras . . .

Challenges and disappointments and hardships are part of life but there's no reason not to be glad one is still breathing and able to move! Maybe it's anger at a lack of control over external forces?
I was commenting upon the idea that some people have that the future is bleak. I think it's a false idea. I didn't mean you specifically, just the view that things are getting worse. I don't think they are. Objectively speaking, the past was harder for humans than the present.
This piece is actually about the coming of a cleansing. I wrote this as a foreword to a nine-part series of short poems. I guess this would make it a ten-piece, but this is like, a warm-up. A preseason game or spring training.
Thinking about my mis-reading of this has given me a good idea though. (I may put it up later if I have time to finish it.)
