Generation-O-lize

A Poem by Logan Carryall
"

In the name of good intentions.

"

Burgundy rat cages

And sickening trials

Take place

In every one of those heads

 

Staying hip is

Now purchased by the same man,

 

How convenient to generalize man.

How convenient to generalize guilt.

Oh convenience to generalize color.

 

Let’s all watch t.v.

Let’ catch a film,

Or maybe a protest

Whatever fills up a day

Keeping up with –

This

Some semblance of activity-

 

“Let’s stay out in the streets. Let’s fight da man.”

 

“Tell me where the bad things are.”

A noble utterance

From pseudo-nobility

 

What a codling man now stands

Above our tender cribs

Unable to hold our own flag

 

Give no man ability,

Give no man an option,

Yet please,

Only on your word

Dear Sirs,

Manufacturers of great words…

Instill your fervor in me,

Oh shining fascist,

O’ glimmering dreamer,

Hailed from a star remember past

Of Czar Survivors

 

Tell me how to get drool

From off my bib.

 

You place all candidates

Before me without reason,

Stating only your heroic mantra-

Give me life,

 

You’re life,

 

Give me liberty,

 

You’re Liberty,

 

And all dem wages,

 

Why, thank you.

"Give no man ability,

Give no man an option,....."

great work man.

I just finished a book written by a slave in the 1800's and everything came together rather nicely. There was a part that really bothered me that shouldn't have bothered me. It makes me cracked as an individual. Not broken, see? Do I have the integrity to say what it was? Well, no. But I do feel it. And I have peace of mind. Isn't that amazing? I swear this ties in to what you wrote but mostly it's something I know in my head. I'm not gonna talk long, I swear.
People don't question, they lose focus. I think people aren't lazy, they're afraid. I think humans are sick. The time is now. I think the world needs stitches. People are crazy man. People go around the streets talking to themselves because there is no one better to talk to. Who's there anyway? No one. People are afraid and the cages are waiting. The bars don't bend. They don't adjust. We are all like lambs and we better wake up. We just look better. We smile. But I'm optimistic. I believe in the world. I don't care who the president is because I don't have a president, I don't even exist in that. I think people want God and they settle for the president of wherever because maybe he could possibly be God if you look at him in the right light. I'm not into looking at anyone in any light except in the one they are cast in right now. right here. I've never seen God at the podium. I enjoyed reading this because you have the sight of man. We look at the same things I feel but you're slightly harder. mentally. I'm not soft all the way but I do have ovaries so what am I gonna do?
