interest lost

interest lost
misplaced maybe
no
lost
sarcastic jaded lost
bored lost
a big whopping SO What lost
not much is changing
shit
it is in some ways reversing
stagnation
truly
i am so utterly bored
the ignorance here
is tantamount to historical proportions
where is my passport?
& where can i go
to get away
from the repression
that advertises itself
as balls to the wall
freedom


the pop cultural amnesia
oppresses me with its apathy
this dumb downed reality show
suppresses me
and my creativity

we are going nowhere fast
circles in the mud
building trenches

no place for me here
no place in any of these 50 states
one by one
it all ends up being the same
it is still america

little pockets of cool
surrounded by a moat of dumb uber-religious upper percentile
non compassionate sociopaths
who are out for themselves and their kind only
"another 10 billion in profits, great job, Jim"

i need to stop
look around
i mean really look around
& ask the crucial real question
or just go the other way
direction of my river
my passion
against the grain

my nature
my downfall
my genius
mine
