NOTICE WE ARE AT 40% POINT

WHICH IS WHERE MOST PIECES/NOVELS DECLARE THEIR THEME

ALSO

IT IS CLEAREST STATEMENT

WHAT DO YOU THINK IT MEANS?

(OTHERWISE YOU WILL JUST HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME RAMBLE = BORING)

umm...

WHY ARE YOUTH CRIPPLED?

because of their parents?

HOW SO? BIOLOGICALLY CRIPPLED, LIKE GENETICS?

no like mentally

OK

MAKES SENSE

IN THIS CASE, IDIOMATIC USAGE => ALL YOUTH ARE CRIPPLED

most seem biologically impaired

AND I AGREE WITH THE MENTALLY CRIPPLED ANGLE

@MentalSyntaxError SEPARATE ISSUE

bad genes -> bad minds

@Metalheim SO WHY DO THEY TRY TO SABOTAGE THE "CARCASS EARTH"?

because their selfish?

or do they want to take it down so something better can be born out of it?

THE SECOND MIGHT MAKE MORE SENSE

ESPECIALLY IF IT IS WHAT IS BEING CRIPPLED

AND IN LIGHT OF THE NEXT TWO LINES:

"All new life must perish below
Existence now is futile"

IF EXISTENCE IS FUTILE, THEY MIGHT WANT TO DESTROY IT

yes sounds genuine

GOOD POINT

NOW WE LOOK TOWARD THE END

THIS IS THE "TAKEAWAY":

Convulsions take the world in hand
Paralysis destroys
Nobody's out there to save us
Brutal seizure now we die

PARALYSIS AND HARDENED ARTERIES ARE BOTH DEGENERATIVE DISEASES

AS A METAPHOR, WHAT DOES THAT SUGGEST?

that we're going downhill?

and fast

as species

THAT

AND

THE WORLD IS PARALYZED

OR UNABLE TO ACT TO CHANGE ITS FATE

yes
