'silence, tabloid preacher.'
'what you have to say has no bearings in actuality.'
'it is glorified garbage.'
'filthy opiate to intoxicate the easily persuaded.'
billboards like streaks of grease cutting through the hills.
something to be said of the mindset
America is Hollywood
and vice versa.
focus on senseless current knowledge,
celebrity drivel
..
all of the hype paired with prestige
could not reverse the damage we've done
to the global environment.
..
Garbage in; garbage out.
Recycling garbage like a business.
..
Feeling sucked in, like a vacuum.
Sunken features, defeated by the industry.
..
Band name. As heard on TV show.
..
Willing to try everything to use the current technology...
to manipulate
to control
to buy and sell souls like trading baseball cards.
I know you're hiding a more
natural kindred spirit
alive in something deeper than headlines.
buried, perhaps, under a certain level of expectation.
you are what you have become.
there is no reversing that.
any concern of a superficial soul?
something simple and complete?
'hear me out, vulture.'
'we will in a lesser number than your ranks, obviously. you are infinite.'
'but your spirit is shallow.'
'we fill the void in physical presence with heart.'
'finite? yes. though our spirits are infinite and unbreakable.'
'you will circle anyway, but we are superior beyond any single senseless chance meeting.'
'where one of us ends up dead.'
'individually? most of us.'
'we are finite.'
'you are a shark with a dwindling spirit.'
'empathy will give you something much greater.'
(then hit with a flash of the joy in material wealth)
something in my heart fights the times as they change.
no one else
involves themselves in thoughts about society regularly.
change yourself, change society.
eventually.
