Your dust will be upon the wind
Within some certain years,
Though you be sealed in lead to-day
Amid the countryβs tears.
.
When this idyllic churchyard
Becomes the heart of town,
The place to build garage or inn,
Theyβll throw your tombstone down.
.
Your name so dim, so long outworn,
Your bones so near to earth,
Your sturdy kindred dead and gone,
How should men know your worth?
.
So read upon the runic moon
Manβs epitaph, deep-writ.
It says the world is one great grave.
For names it cares no whit.
.
It tells the folk to live in peace,
And still, in peace, to die.
At least, so speaks the moon to me,
The tombstone of the sky.
Once I loved a spider
When I was born a fly,
A velvet-footed spider
With a gown of rainbow-dye.
She ate my wings and gloated.
She bound me with a hair.
She drove me to her parlor
Above her winding stair.
To educate young spiders
She took me all apart.
My ghost came back to haunt her.
I saw her eat my heart.
I am unjust, but I can strive for justice.
My lifeβs unkind, but I can vote for kindness.
I, the unloving, say life should be lovely.
I, that am blind, cry out against my blindness.
βββββ
Man is a curious bruteβhe pets his fanciesβ
Fighting mankind, to win sweet luxury.
So he will be, though law be clear as crystal,
Thoβ all men plan to live in harmony.
βββββ
Come, let us vote against our human nature,
Crying to God in all polling places
To heal our everlasting sinfulness
And make us sages with transfigured faces.
"They tried to get me...I got them first"
Let not young souls be smothered out before They do quaint deeds and fully flaunt their pride. It is the worldβs one crime its babes grow dull, Its poor are ox-like, limp and leaden-eyed. Not that they starve, but starve so dreamlessly; Not that they sow, but that they seldom reap; Not that they serve, but have no gods to serve; Not that they die, but that they die like sheep.
I recorded this off a laptop mic, so I apologize if the quality isn't great.

Mightβve gotten a little carried away with this, haha
Sheβs supposed to be holding a map, hence the hand position, but I had fun when I was drawing the stuff that could be on her belt so I just made 2 versions. Not sure where to put the one with the map, sorry.
Hope this is to your liking!

Looking at a recent twitter post just says "Goodbye" https://twitter.com/thelindsayellis/status/1475645286617735172
With that linking to a lengthy explanation to something that doesn't seem to directly address what the issue is, https://www.patreon.com/posts/60406124, with something regarding Omelas, but that doesn't seem to explain what Omelas actually is.
The only thing I can remember was something regarding her comments about a movie she said was similar in themes to Avatar. Is this related to those comments or something entirely different?
