It's the reverse. This poem came out before Survivalism.

@thisisacunt He's both a rapper and a "spoken word poet."

this part of his book is heavily influenced by 9/11...hence the 6000 feet above sea level line and the 3000 bodies and cockpit.

I used to have a link from an interview of when the book was written about this book where he went into detail about the book

[MarshallSProduction]

"Mother Nature is a whore, said the shotgun to the head" is referring to Kurt Cobain, [mother] Nature is a whore - lyrics to In Bloom by Nirvana, and said the shotgun to the head, simply how Kurt Cobain died.

"mother nature's a whore said the shotgun to the head"

I was like 21 when the book this poem was in came out. Man, to be that wide eyed kid again. How I interpreted them back then is totally different than now.

"If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn"..Charlie parker
