Where are we now?
We are all going through a hard-time, a recession, things never mentioned, situations never questioned.
...
The only things discussed are promethazine addictions, money hungry women, and hearts with no convictions.
...
What is your predilection?
...
I suppose it is to get rich quick? Buy Louboutin heels or bag a Top Model chick?
...
We have abandoned the basics; therefore these dreams have no basis. We stink like meat that has rotted in a sun that is racist.
...
A man once asked, "what happens to a dream deferred?"
...
I tell you there are no dreams, because our imaginations have been burned.
...
Here we sit heavy with debt, spending our last dimes on dreams never met.
...
The Chinese labor night and day, while on bottoms we sit playing Xbox all day.
...
What to make of the Taliban, North Korea, or Iran?
...
Who is our voice?
...
Is it Jersey Shore?
...
Lady Gaga or someone more, clever and witty, tall and pretty from a little town or a big ol’ city, maybe it is Carrie from Sex and the City or some loud mouth rapper from the inner-city.
...
Either way,
we leave off where we start,
discussing
get rich quick schemes,
promethazine,
and convictions with
no heart.
Good work. Its a sad fact: America is rightfully self-loathing. At the same time that we hate being seen as the Jersey Shore union, we also can't look away. We are a compulsive country, who hates the reality that we purposely created. And, in a downward spiral, the junk self-propagates, and like any addict, the more we hate the addiction the more we turn to it for escape. Damn shame
