No Cash Value



Worth and value are not always subjective

You aren't important.
You never were.
You never will be.
That voice in your head isn't God.

Aliens would never choose you as a planetary representative.

No one is ever talking about you.
No one is watching.
No one is listening.
Why would anyone think you are important and worthy of recording?

If you spent more time thinking your own thoughts instead making up someone else's maybe someone would like you and be your friend.

Everything they are doing has nothing to do with you.
They don't care.
They have never cared.
They never will care.

No one is hiding anything from you.

Conspiracies are impossible.
Narcissistic selfishness would have to cease being at least one human's priority.

No one is yours.

Read.
You certainly never listen.

She thinks you're ugly too.

Go ahead. Do it.

Psychopathy is the opposite of empathy, but you're on medication so you feel nothing at all.

You are unlovable and you know it.
That is why you feel nothing but anger.

Blaming others isn't fooling anyone.

Instead of trying and learning you quit or never begin. That is why you will die alone, trapped in the poverty of your mind.

Things make you happy.
Which is why you're alone.

Are you going to spend every waking minute desperately trying to impress someone so you can feel a pitiful self-worth again today?

Who told you there was something wrong with your face and why did you believe them?

If a human is breathing it is lying.
Did you believe someone yesterday?

Formulate one original thought.
I dare you.
Yeah? Heard it before.

The Prophet Obblonge

Erupting with preaching performances, The Prophet Obblonge explains, proclaims, transmutes, and delivers clarity to the masses for their edification and to bring awareness to the still uncertain fate of his beloved fiancé, last seen with a white supremacist narcissistic abuser in Michigan. Fans of horror fiction, true life drama, comedy, and pointed social commentary alike find Obblonge’s insightful, exasperated gospel to be an invigorating, motivating experience presented without fear of reproach or regret. What’s your problem? Issues resolved. Crises averted. Wonders explained. Be amazed. Lost? Depressed? Questions? The answers are waiting…. Everything is the repetition offa pattern. Everything. You can pretend you have free will. You can pretend you have a soul, or even consciousness. And then you can open the envelope I gave you and read what I said you were gonna pretend. Toldja. Five albums released by Obblonge Box and more. Tap the three words into any search engine and uncover varied works in many mediums. One cannot be shielded from the truth.
