We have to choose between being treated like shit at home or being treated like shit abroad

Resigned Uncertainty

---

I ran out of answers for the do-you-have-a-plan question.
I ran out of plans; they all got aborted on the way.
I ran out of patience for re-planning.
I ran out of hope.
Where can you plan to go that will get you out this madness’ reach?
Is there a safe place anymore?
Is there a sane place left?
Apocalypse is now, but it does not look like the one in movies or books.
There are not ragged zombies or burning buildings.
Apocalypse looks fancy. It dresses in brands and uses top-notch technology and digital makeup to fabricate half-truths and half-lives.
Apocalypse dresses injustice under the cloak of legality and makes justice look like a crime.
You get screwed by the communists just as much as by the capitalists.
Which is the lesser of two evils?
What a shitty choice to make.
We have to choose between being ripped by criminals or by men and women in uniform.
We have to choose between being treated like shit at home or being treated like shit abroad.
We have to choose between seeing your loved ones wilt to inanition or not seeing them ever again and wilt emotionally.
Plans are for the young of heart whose every beat pumps new ideas.
My heart got too old too fast.
It got beaten too much to last.
