Switch to channelU and I have seen in you
A lost generation.
Musing on your sacred tablets
For your 10 commandments of life hacks
To regain your lives back
From the Old Testament of youth;
That sweet sanguine confection
Found in over the counter culture where once it stood.
Do your present prophets profit you?
Is thou thus satisfied?
We are a nation of conforming ‘like’ buttons,
In a symphony of similes
Smiling painted expressions of emojis,
When in reality
our words are censored out of individuality.
Misdirection has never found such certainty
In the ocean of today’s public coliseum of celebrity.
In spite of this,
There are those among us
Who will scream, bleed and fracture every tv screen;
The war cry of the anarchist:
“We are not entertained!”
That’s why it’s wise to listen to the poets. Maybe the only ones left with uncensored words/thought/mind and yes, spirit too.

I agree to some extent as I’m quite wary of who get’s published these days. Especially if they have been published by big publishing houses. However, I’m a true believer in that poetry is an art form and all voices expressed should be heard. It’s the responsibility of the
audience to cast a wide net in deepening their literary sphere and questioning what is being said.
