The melanchorhaspody
of a space squid is about an extraterrestrial who could not understand the
earth's mechanism clockworks.
He was appalled by humans' disrespect and ignorance towards the rest of the
world that/who aren't humans,
or are slightly different from themselves in terms of looks and religions.
He was disgusted that the pain of decapitated flowers decorating tables actually
smells good.
He was saddened to see the world rely on it's feeding off one another -out
of the need for survival and gratification- for balance.
It has a beautiful exterior but a brutal babaric interior.
Although the squid sees himself as an intellectual, local primitives saw him
as food.
And he was hopelessly helpless about it.
Contemplation.
What is the purpose of life?
Why is it so precious, when all that is about, is survival? Is it the fear
of death and physical pain?
We don't seem to see an insect's life worth treasuring,
when it is even unlawful and sinful for an individual to die or take a life
of par without the public body's concent.
While the human population is tipping the earth's balance to the edge,
we can not tolerate that squirrel and beehive in that annoying tree obstructing
our livingroom scenic view, on top of that hill, behind our yard.
If the gem of life lies in a chain of memories, mementos, lesiures and remembrance,
they don't last forever either.
The only way to make my mind stop boggling is to tell myself that life is
precious because it is selfishly personal.
