Its In The Air

Its In The Air

A Poem by The Spaniard
"

observations

"

We communicate with nothing.

So Spoiled.

Spoiled by what?

Freedom?

Freedom of what?

Freedom of speach?

It'a all lost its meaning.

MEANING NOTHING.

UNDERSTANDING NOTHING.

Everyword just noise.

Meaningless empty niose.

Revelance is only a memory from whence it came.

And when we forget the source,

We forget the dream.

Whilst those who aren't talking to hear themselves speak

are cast aside.

This chain of events occur'

With Expression lending itself to fear,

Fear from the masses.

And Fear lending itself to hatred,

Hatred of the creators.

Hatred lending itself to violence and death,

The death of creativity and souls.

Beacuse if it doesn't SELL.

IT DOESN'T LIVE.

And of course that means...

I must die.

And so must you.

And so must us all.

For its far to late for change.

The programing has been completed.

So lets plug ourselves in to be ENTERTAINED.

And DON'T think.

NO.

Don't ever think.

It may make you sad.

And no one wants to see that,

hear that,

be that.

NO.

No one ever wants to see THAT.

Sensing the frustration in this piece. Cleanly stating true thoughts and emotions being stepped on, shut up in lieu of saying something real and being heard. The great equalizer, death. Morbidity remains a constant even if naysayers rebuke it or deny it.
The run on, spoken word style verse makes its own statement. There are no breaks into stanza. It adds the feel that the moment experienced is run-on and relentless. Overall, a good piece. It may not be popular. It is not a popularist piece. Both subject and style will speak to a limited audience, but they will hear you.

Cheers!
Doc.

I know you know what I think of this piece. Society isnt smart enough to think as individuals, so like robots they follow the leader. Anyone who says different is insulted or worse ignored as if their opinion doesnt matter. And by the time the masses begin to question if the leader was right, its to late.

You misspelled "Fear" up there somewhere, but I love this one. Very nihilistic, but your words ring so much truth.

Expression lending itself to fear" Brilliance in rhetoric! I enjoyed the pathos in this poem, not morbid, but penetrating, it lends itself to the reader's contemplation almost effortlessly. Bravo!!

i think we all take advantage of our freedoms until some tries to take them away... then there are those who believe in our right to free speech until it something they don't like.... a true american will stand up for something even when they don't like it.... a very thought provoking write.
