Dumbing Down of the Usa

Summer hath come, May blocked the sun, son, yet I know you read this Jedi 
poetry.
Airwaves reek of radiation, reverberation stagnant holds no key.
Here we, hear yee, Kings of Alchemy 
everyday, every way, mopping floors like janitors, scientists of style, fluidity.

Yet, have you ever seen "Good Will Hunting?" "How do ya' like 'dem apples!?!"
Faces fraught with pale, we do not understand or yet fully comprehend what it 
is being accomplished here.
Still, week after week, we build this small community of ambition through 
attrition. We pour out our souls...FOR WHAT? Bickering in this pan, flash 
flooding through months supposedly in a drought. But, FOR WHAT"S IT ALL 
ABOUT. (or Aboot, for my Canadian brother's and sisters)

I give thanks for your interaction, but will not accept judgment of the few. In 
fact, purists, I will address you too, by flying high my middle finger, resisting 
the itch to even edit this "worthless excuse for a poem". But I know better 
than to pester you much more than that. For I too, need readers, and you're 
dropping like flies in protest. Still I say: "You're pissed off, it sure beats 
getting pissed on!"  Perhaps the world really fades to black when everyone 
stops talking of you.

There is not much I believe in firmly as the Universe/Multiverse is a million 
white canvases. But I, and I do mean butt-eye believe we are waking up. My 
duty involves elimination of the snooze button. If wishes were coffee, I'd stir 
the world hot, and see that cups overflow with pure energy. The black veil 
over our many nations needs lifted, and it's gonna take full concentration, 
positive motivation, and quite possibly myriads meditating.

 Amen brothers and sisters!

If this piece doesn't resonate, I recommend one week off from television and 
or video games to improve clarity. Light becomes clear when dimming what's 
dumbing you down.

It's so weird you mentioned your comment not coming through on one of my poems?? I could have sworn I responded to THIS one a while ago and MY comment is not here either!! I watch tv all the time, and I could get this (well most of it. haha) You are always fascinating to read.

There isn't much here that I disagree with. When I started here I could only write a quatrain and I am sure there were those who would not give me more than a passing thought. I don't feel I was less of a poet, I merely painted with less brushes. We should applaud and listen to the new poets, their enthusiasm is our life blood. They have much to say!

Thanks for liking my poetry, it's always nice when someone "gets" what you write I think. :) BTW, I fully agree with this poem. I don't watch television or read the news anymore for this very reason. I don't need to be entrenched in what you would call our "culture," or lack thereof. Lowers your vibration. Now only a few will get THAT also. :) Thanks again for your comments!
