Modern Convenience

Modern convenience In nearly every room of our convenient lives we have vessels which facilitate our lack of permanence Our trash cans make it easy to psychologically remove ourselves from that which we don't care for To discard is bred in to our nature We are inclined to depart from that which we are averse We seek to depart our own existence readily and embrace the temporary realities given to us Yes each room does remove reality with very little effort indeed Each untidy detail hidden and unmanageable just goes away and our minds our taken, numbed, and subjugated to the whims of those who know…they know our masses yearn for more when we know not why…we pay homage to the 70" alter day in and out The prophesy of purchasing power dictated and fed through waves of familiar escape Watch the disconnected relatable protagonist lay waste to self and loved ones before your delivery dinner gets cold…then Find their way back with the mirror of every-man that imparts the pseudo internalization of realizing the struggle of network dispensation from behind a TV dinner… night after night' Then the day comes…when realization and identity is replaced by relate-ability and internalization…some irrational emotional lobotomy that causes the very light of our core to dim and seem only to brighten in the false light of promised escape and inclusion…from 8:00 – 9:00 every Thursday on your favorite network… be sure to tune in…
