existentialism is a crisis (rought draft)
long evening with my existential ghetto friend and lesbian crush.. here are my thoughts:
i believe we reap
from the seeds that we sow
and human potential is tantamount to none.
a constant need to communicate
is how the project's been done.
tho truth is
we subjugate ourselves and others
in the name of social constructs
lost in the fog
we'll forget the faces of our mothers
in the name of safety and benefit
we quarantee all we cannot understand
in the name of public interest
we let men take all that they can.
forgotten; we're brothers and sisters
agents of the greater good.
what we do is not for nothing.
history's hands are covered in blisters
bad backs and struggle
long, winding tracks that confuddle
shed blood and and justices won
and each time things get just a little better.
creatures driven in the search for comfort and serenity
desperate for answers no modern logic may provide.
hellbent on definite survival
content to just abide
no thought of why suffering is perpetuated
crimes against one are against us all
tragedy should be commiserated.
cynicism creeps deep in the minds of humanity
stripped down to bare emotion
slashed through and bit hard.
silent sight of humanity betrayed
can only be acknowledgement and acquiesence.
ignorance feeds naked lies
and the mass runs to duck and cover.
reality seeths and we attempt to visualize
the hidden lines with this limited mind's eye
desperate for a reason no human mind can provide.
i choose to search for a human truth
though i love our journeys into the abstract
there is no answer for human contact.
the evolution of thought
the voice of information
only unity will set us free.
i believe in truth between woman and man
creatures that roam and slither in the sands
we all have a need to belong,
to share love and not die alone,
feel pain, grief
joy and relief
and experience continues to show that
humanity is within us all. just as evil
can be perpetuated
our hatred is just search for answers why.
excuses when we don't want to try
(naturally)tiring of being led on
of hearing the same damn 10 songs
2 news stories and 3 themes
it can seem this whole thing is perpetually fucked!
god don't we believe we're smarter than this?
but lost in the static is honesty and change
valor and ingenuity and the knowledge that nothing has to stay the same
we come from a line where brutality was king
where the strong survive and alpha was emphasized.
control wrested necessary for the greater good
becoming corrupted and unclean as it always would.
there is no replacing innocense
and not everything can be rebuilt
emotion and life have value
no matter no matter no matter
how hard we attempt to rebuke this
everprescent thought.
we were slaves and property
serfs and servants
now citizens and leaders
interested in social service.
we work tireless hours tho
know not quite the reason why,
toiling to useless endeavors
evident in consumption of empty pleasures
produced by those who would rather you forget
how few all this bloodsweat will benefit
let the rat out of the cage
he won't look for a wheel to run in
show me the way out of dead-end jobs
and i'll show you which way i'm goin'
i believe we want to learn how to fish
not just consume the tender flesh.
we can only rely on each other
or death blows through on a whim;
nature is sink or swim
do not forget the faces of our mothers.
and through false idols of coin and power
dignity is personified into things
we can touch and feel.
herein becomes tie:
powers that be know the danger of self-worth
the respect and understanding that makes societies work
are not compatible with global domination
community communication explanation:
we need each other.
veneration exhoneration get to the point!
the battle has just begun
i see in my dreams
global understanding
it's why we sing, write
dream and fight
to see everyone is brought along.
privaledge and responsibility
like melody and harmony;
the simple turn of emotion and logic.
