Apathy is dead.
Gone are the days of no longer giving a ****
Caring is what's in now.
Down is the new up.
*To be recited while standing atop a table
in the middle of the room
during a party.*
Clocks are spinning backwards.
The midnight hour never struck.
Turning pages left to wright.
Down is the New up.
*To be yelled out in a library
from the top of a bookshelf
in the History section.*
The broken down and beaten;
the wounded, burned, and cut.
We are not defeated.
Down is the New Up.
*To be blared over the PA system
in the Emergency Room of a hospital
after a massacre.*
A conjoining of festered faiths.
A mutant monster made from a million parts.
A rolling tide that turns tsunami in a sea of tortured hearts.
One colossal cosmic shift.
A sun born from the dark.
Falling up from the bottom and rising down from the top.
A monumental force that cannot be stopped.
*To be shouted through a bullhorn
in the center of the city
during a riot.*
Down Is The New Up!
DOWN IS THE NEW UP!!
DOWN IS THE NEW UP!!!

You know, for the prophesized poet takeover.
(Homage to a favorite Radiohead song.)
