It only took me 40 years to decide what I wanted on my tombstone:
"Do you know who I think I am?"
I'll admit, it's not very original, but at least it's honest.

kill your heroes in their bed
kill them all until they're dead
don't love them but kill them all instead
because they were really only ever heroes
when they were who they were
when they were in your head

and if might truly makes right
pray to whatever God you like
that there never comes a day
when you are not able to fight

nothing over nothing
while twelve monkeys play
under two suns
until all the nothing falls over
and it all is re-begun

why is it that biological sex, which is actually biologically defined yet we are conditioned to recognize it based on secondary features, was challenged first; when challenging the idea of race, which actually is based on secondary features with no biologically defined characteristics, would actually have been progress towards unity?
is it because people might have been open to the scientific reality that there is only one human race, or species, which is homosapien, which consists of a myriad of continuously developing genotypes and that someone who looks different is not a different race but just a human being that looks different; if they had not first been conditioned that challenging the established sociopolitical narrative is wrong, dangerous, and divisive?

terminal uniquity
we're all the same
to be original
is lame
the end in the beginning
and the beginning is the same

the biggest fish
in the smallest pond
then the damn broke open
and it all was gone
through the green door,
or
through the looking glass
either way,
goodbye is how
you can kiss your ass

"i don't know what you are, but i'm a moron",
then he went on about the minutiae of human cognition

the sun looks like the moon today
silver instead of yellow
it's the third morning after the full moon
and the seventh day since the winter solstice
if you consider a day
from the setting of the sun to the next

In the end, perhaps the demarcation of childhood and adult is the realization that no one whom you consider an adult has any better grasp on ultimate objective truth than whom you consider a child, save the decision to believe in something.

sometimes
making a decision
and
taking action
is better than doing nothing,
and
sometimes it's not
