EVERY FUCKING LIST
EVERY MUNDANE NOTION
EVERY BORING ATTEMPT FOR ATTENTION
EVERYBODY TRYING TO BE AN EXPERT
EVERY MESSAGE OF NONSENSE
THAT HAS EVER BEEN
SHITTED OUT
OF THE PERVERSE
WEAK LITTLE MIND
OF ONE OF THE
BORING STERILE SAFE
AND STAGNATED MASSES
IS A COMPLETE FAILURE
THEY CALL IT CONNECTION
THEN DISCONNECT
AS IT IS TRUE FAILURE
AND
ALL OF THIS
IS AT
YOU’RE FINGER TIPS
THIS KIND OF WORLD
CREATES THE POSERS AND PUSSIES
THAT ARE SCARED TO SPEAK
TO REAL HUMAN BEINGS
THE KIND THAT RELENT THEIR ANGER
THE KIND THAT REPENT THEIR DESIRES
THE KIND THAT OBSESS THEIR VALUES
THEY CAN LEARN YEARS
WITHIN SECONDS
NEVER HAVING TO SAVE UP
THE HARD EARNED PAY
OF A HARD LIVING JOB
TO BUY THE PAPERBACK EDITIONS
OF DEAD MEN
WITHOUT THE PAPERCUTS
NOR HAVE NEVER SPENT
THREE HOURS DIGGING
THROUGH ALL OF THE DUSTY RECORD BINS
FOR THAT ONE POTENTIAL
JEWEL IN THE ROUGH
NOR SCOURED
THE EARTH
FOR YEARS
FOR THAT ONE
PARTICULAR
THING
NEVER KNOWING
THE SATISFACTION
OF FINDING SAID THING
AND HOW
A POSSESSION
FEELS LIKE
AN ACCOMPLISHMENT
NOT AN ACTUAL ITEM
IT’S AN ACCOMPLISHMENT
ALL OF THIS
IS NOW
SIMPLE
LIKE A STUPID HUMAN BEING
LIKE THE CLICK OF A BUTTON
SIMPLE
NOW EVERYBODY
IS A WRITER
NOW EVERYBODY
IS POPULAR
NOW EVERYBODY
IS PUBLISHED
NOW EVERYONE
IS SOMEONE
OR NO ONE
NOW EVERYONE
HAS A VISUAL VALIDATION
IN ONLY
TWO DIMENSIONS
IN ONLY
A FEW SECONDS
UNTIL IT ALL CHANGES
CTRL ALT AND DELETE
FUCK YOU
FIND SOMETHING
THAT WILL MAKE YOU SWEAT
AND GRAB HOLD OF IT
LIKE YOU’RE FUCKING LIFE
DEPENDED ON IT
BECAUSE
MAYBE IT DOES
OR MAYBE IT DOESN’T
IT’S UP TO YOU
TO LEAVE THE HOUSE
TO TURN OFF THE SCREEN
TO BECOME NATURE
TO BECOME HUMAN
TO BECOME NOTHING
TO BECOME SOMETHING
TO BE EVERYTHING
BREAK THAT CHAIN
RUN FUCKING FREE
DON’T LISTEN TO
OLD MISANTHROPIC BEASTS
LIKE ME
SO LONG AS I BREATHE
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE
THIS
THIS TYPE OF THING
SO MY REQUEST
TO YOU
IS TO LISTEN
TO SHOW UP
TO WATCH
TO HEAR
TO SEE
OR EVEN BETTER
TO GO MAKE YOUR OWN
IF YOU SWEAT DOING IT
IT’S PROBABLY WORTH IT
AND YOU’LL PROBABLY LEARN
OR FORGET OR REGRET
BUT ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS SWEAT
WHILE YOU DO IT
WHILE YOU FEEL IT
WHILE YOU KNOW
NEVER LOOK BACK TOO FAR
ON THE PAST
AND ITS DEAD BURDENS
IT’LL BRING YOU DOWN
AND HURT YOU
IT IS STRONGER THAN YOU
IT WILL ENDURE
LONGER THAN YOU
IT CAN BEAT YOU DOWN
INTO CRITICAL CONDITION
INTO MASSIVE COGNITION
INTO FUTURE RELIGION
BREAK IT
UP DOWN OUT AND FREE
WHILE YOU SWEAT
I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S WORSE
ALONE
OR A CROWDED ROOM
IT PROBABLY DOESN’T MATTER
IT PROBABLY NEVER MATTERS
BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN
THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO MAKE IT REAL
You're right. Generations are confined to smaller and smaller increments of time as the connection speeds increase. I consider it a cross section of the earths crust with all these really thin layers at the top. I'm 24 with a 17 year old sister who hardly understands my language. People who experienced life before the internet and actually played outside as kids made up the last of the larger generations. It seems these days kids live on the internet and their parents medicate them in order to allow their brains to handle the excessive amounts of stimulus of the everywhere world that is the internet. Kids are encouraged to tap into this stuff almost as soon as their eyes open anymore as modern civilization goes through the motions using technological conveniences; oblivious to their nature or how they work. In the same way, people go on living unaware of themselves. Good words. Saw that I could comment so I did.
