This is a poem I wrote in regards to the way US culture seems to be going. It also likely holds truth for many readers from other countries as well. It also may be received as the pointless ramblings of an alcohol addled young adult.
This place is slowly
turning into a haven of forgotten words,
frequented by the desperate who only wish to be heard,
the life wasted
trying to make themselves themselves
and not the manifestation of frequented ideas
forgotten in their redundance,
displaced in their arrogance,
discouraged in their discord.
Wailing, torpid creatures wishing only
to be heard just once,
suffocating in their own skin,
loving only the fallacy of unity and
enticed only by the odds stacked against them.
Struggling for an ill defined and
perpetually diminishing life to call their own,
constantly reminded of their relative absence.
Struggling for an ill defined constant and
the false return of plight.
Is this your art?
What torpid creatures
that suffocate in their own skin
only wishing to pass along
what they utter as if their mantra,
their reaction to feeling wretched,
torpid, clastrophobic
in their own skin, and that is your art:
the suffocating ideology never heard.
