The library became something that we synthesize.
Televised in some sad semblance,
You could honestly describe as "modernized"
Wide-eyed, grand attempts at getting a
Customized,
Annotated,
Nothing.
A corpse, not remotely resemblant, remains.
Can you bury a million people for the taste of what their fed?
Worship in a way that dulls the head.
I don't care who made it,
We're all lying in this bed.
Living in a rough draft culture designed to hypnotize.
We become a distant memory of life,
Now sterilized.
Paralyzed with panoramic scenery from every part of the world
Except,
Our own.
Not a single face is recognizable on this display.
Can't complain though,
So long as they rob you of the words you'd use to do so.
Even when we lack the language,
The feeling is welling up.
Somewhere between hysteria and panic:
Reprise.
We are the children of a system that became it's own disguise.
Welcome
Hello, and welcome to my daily poetry blog. The following poems are improvised based on my day, general reflections, or by just allowing my mind to cruise in neutral without a filter. I have been working on this for something around two years now and have amassed a lot of words. You can either go through them page by page, or check out the "Hall of Better Poems" option in the right column. Please feel free to comment on what you like or dislike, and also subscribe below if you like this sort of thing. Thanks!

(typically I will write down my ideas on paper throughout the day and I may not get in front of a computer to transfer it. So I then dump a few days worth of poems at once.)
