we refuse to believe,
to denounce the dream,
to not remember.
we refuse to accept,
a false defeat,
that the process has ended.
but I look around,
and it appears you've won,
and they all consented.
deafening pluralism
post-modern [rant]
victims of culture
spectacle love
packaged meanings
individualist mass
interconnected points
one-dimensional facts
(i) sit here and meditate on all that
(i) am so terribly meta
(i) love my corral
give all the pleasures (i) can possibly have
teach me to accept anything and never stand up
(i) wanna be a spectator of the things to come
participate the least possible and not care at all
see nothing outside my little microcosm
be a relativist moralist and completely apolitical
please convince (me) too
that we've figured it all
the details remain
but we get the whole
please assimilate me in the pack
(i) wanna be sheepish
(i)'d love to feel numb
(i) love the screen's light, (i) fear the dark
some want to be, (i) just want to have
the self is a process and (i) can't bother with that
(i) now gather tokens to show you my value
bureaucratic meritocracy, let me glorify you
tag me, price me, define me all the way
(i) hope you find a tag for my soul as well
(i) will now be infotained to catch up
will watch a news satirist to understand
after that there's this show of people losing fat
(i) get my "values" from jesters and marketing fads
look, this poem's so meta
(i) could open my heart:
[negative feeling here] [joke about that]
[unoriginal opinion] and [trivia]
[self-resentment], [a very bad pun].
