Nihilism

by Joe Cramer

Time as nihilism
When it's just a viewpoint
Of simply traditional values,
Perhaps even beliefs
Unfound
Or moreso that our existence
Is truly senseless
And perhaps utterly useless.

Do you deny that any
Objective ground of truth,
Especially those moral terpitudes
Are unfounded?
Or do you believe
That those conditions in any social organization are so bad to make its destruction desirable for its own sake?
The belief that those conditions of the social organization are to be considered to be so bad that destruction is desirable for its own sake.
Without possibility.

I wonder what those nineteenth century Russian party members were advocating?
I mean, really, assasination?
Terrorism?

Nihilism?
