I'm Just LivingAll I’m beginning to feel is pain. My mind is buzzing and throbbing because I’ve shoved it out of sight. My chest aches from a diet of fried foods and breathing toxic conversation. My ears sting from biting criticisms my parents present of: homosexuals, the homeless, drug addicts, hippies, and myself. Ten days trapped, with no escape but my mind. I should have prepared better; brought armor and weapons, but nothing cuts through the opinions of the ignorant. Nothing can expose the lies they’ve fed themselves. / My mother loves “people watching” she says, but only from a safe distance. Far enough to see the grit, but not the despair. / My father is fickle, brooding and American. He can’t look foreigners in the eye and scoffs at language barriers.

Generalizations Don't WorkA timely observation; complacently inscribed, / finding truth in aberration and restitution in denial. / So long conversely spoken, unmentioned but believed:

Governed by the MassesWhat is our culture? / Not the stereotype that most play into, but our real culture. / Are we defined by our purposeless music and suggestive dances?

ThoughtsThe brain fills with reseeding nonsense, all from public action that convince us. And we think that we can learn from this. But we are more lost in thinking about it. Just more generalizations to take from the past. To paint ourselves and see how long that last. The future seems the same , as long as we play this game. It shows up as an uneven predicament in our face, to steal what little grace, we have stowed away. But we can take it back and hold our place. Just burn all those thoughts of hate. And say we are one as a human race.
