in the dark of night

Im sitting in the dark of night, red glow of my cigarette the only light.I dont smoke, but tonight, I do.My eyes look into the future, and I see a world in evolution.Maybe mankind is on the edge of some natural catastrophe that signals a drastic change in society as a whole. The destruction of society.We collapse under our burden.I cant predict that, but it seems plauseable enough.Or maybe we have some great evolution of thought, where the masses start to see what REAL power is.Not armies, not destructive forces of mans creation.The flowing waters that scour the surface, the unending cycle of birth,life, renewel as fire sweeps over the landscape.Wind and rain combining to demonstrate just how tiny and fragile we really are.Not necessarily a technological revolution either, perhaps a departure from technology actually.A return to provincial thinking coupled with an overwhelming desire by mankind to preserve culture instead of controling it.The death of Ideaology and the birth of acceptance and tolerance.I feel the roots are there in generations living now.I can sense it.A moment in time where social awareness in all its forms penetrates all corners of the world.We have to many people now, to many needs.Nature will select us soon.We tip the balances and our world will correct.I think we will survive.Maybe a shortage in Mountain Dew and video games, but we will make it.
Im so old fashioned its sick.I still think a man should honor his word, and try to grow self respect,and repay loyalty.Stand up for what you believe right, and humble yourself when proven wrong.I can hear things in peoples words that they dont even know they are saying.A cry for help, a bitter heart, a true survivor,a caretaker of people,and a predator.I dont pretend to have skills of perception that others dont have.The differance is life experience training versus professionally educated skills.Iam easily betrayed because of my belief in absolutes.Honor.Tolerance.Pride.Karma.Sacrifice.Respect. I dont always give all of this or emulate it, but I think its what everyone should strive for and respect in others.
My cat sits on my lap and cares not for what the world has, except for this moment in time we share.Right now.Good kittycat.Siamese are the best cats ,bar none.Mine is at least.He loves me and mommy...period.The dog trots off with whoever is interesting right now, but there is no doubt....that is my cat.From the first time we met, I knew he was for me only.Good boy.My dog was the same way.He captured me instantly.Curious bond we can form with animals.Commune with them.Its a shame when people cant/dont experience this.
