nero
this crazy crazy man
loved by the people of rome
killed two of his wives
kicked a wife to death who was pregnant
lowered taxes for the people
kept them happy and housed
his mother once begged for death to be relieved of her relations to him
stab me in the stomach where the monster was nurtured
aLLEGEDLY
you see,
nero wasn't liked by his peers of the senate,
and political enemies were the main ones recounting him
his name has likely been dragged through the dirt.
engraved in the timeline
its weird hearing about people who lived
i find myself relating to the humanity of figures so ancient
they are no more than words on a page
and spoke in tongue that we could never understand
but i understand a part of something that has been passed through ancient to modern hands
i was recently reading Homer
that guy is fake (maybe)
but there's no way that the storylines have stayed the same as its been passed down 3000 years
what changed?
what niche references to lives lived have been lost to time?
how lucky are that after thousands of years of history the good guys won every time?
right?
history is more like an intergenerational narrative
sure, learn from the past blahablahnlah.
i used to believe all that was written was true
but they easily could waffle as much as i am right now
how many innocent people are in jail?
the mother who watches the man who murdered her son walk free
what happened < what is widely accepted
what would the world be like if hitler had won?
global aryan supremacy?
would jewish people still exist?
would i exist?
my family migrated from europe post ww2
how many people would've wedded another?
how many families would never have existed?
judgement
of myself and what I've been doing
a choice freeze
impostor syndrome
Sometimes I finish a [insert here] and surprise myself
sometimes i start a [inser]t and fucking suck
some fina; thoughts coz this shit been sitting in the bank too long:
how does information get lost
how doesn't someone just remember it
word of mouth get lost in translation? generational?
When will instagram die out
that vile, parasitic beast
what was written is nearly is funny is what's been said'
most of everything is made up and you are tricked by a magician each day
it/'s also a load of fuckshit and dickheadery regardless
stop taking life so seiriosly and just live
