A NEW America(n) dream: all definitions
Isn't that what we're all doing? Hoping someday we can : live beyond our means
There was a time : when we all begged : for another : chance
Don’t fire me : I need this job : this salary
.
Someday soon, as humanity keeps : works so hard: claims divine
Attempts to trade : attention for a better future
A day when none will have
To work
To sacrifice
Equality
.
Someday : that day
We will all have to prove : what is human life
What are you worth
.
When nothing you do is enough
.
It’s become: obvious : we don't know anymore : how to define
Are you good? Sigh
I want the baddie : label me : hot trash
a tattoo isn’t a personality : add more to cover : rotting flesh : outside in : new identity
beauty is the standard for this utopian plantation : european roots : brazilian injections : burn burn burn : to get a tan
sift, pick, craft the color of your kin : mixed is in
.
fall for someone who never learned how to : self : love
hide
I’m a blood sucking drama cunt : too
lick my wounds?
can I love the worst in you : pedestals : lift you to the top of the lowest you can be
you are my picket fence
appropriate me : supremacy is dead : paint it black
dap me up : act : we are alike : did I say it right?
equal can't create equality : if I'm convinced that I'm unique : but scramble for : approval from micro-socio-economic insecurity
.
are you a tribe of agency?
guilty of your skin until proven nonthreatening
.
a group conspires : there is a disease in the sky : watch it in trails : ants on the surface : uncaring : ticky tacky on every hillside : waiting to fall into the ocean
see the truth : the clouds are chemicals : your eyes burn : the ashes grow
ask money to wash away the vile : fill our experiment with each other's work : trade life for futures
.
selfish : find : fear
waiting to add imagination to the stream : pollute minds : forget suffering is here and the Earth will never leave us, no matter how deep we escape in our caves of other lives that we can never live
we fail at re-creation : become pretenders of some phantom director : my eyes the specter : they only see the past in vision of a wish : who I wanted to be
.
life is not time
.
who am i to battle time, efficiency, success. who am i to try and form the world in “my vision”—a copy for a copy. i’m not, i won’t be. i refuse. to be a living example of failed biology, of failed ideology, just another heart beat in the festering decay that we are. pretending to see the youth in our future. poison the well for happiness. believe in yourself. the future is doom anyways, why don’t we enjoy illusion.
find.
We are captives of the need to make dreams in reality. Is this so bad that we need to be asleep. Maybe it’s time we let dreams be dreams, and focus on awakening.
If you let yourself have enough thoughts, at some point you must contend with existentialism, with death. Time, the meaning of things, the meaning of materialistic manifestation and it’s inevitable attachment. Emotions. The self. Egos. Where does the body truly begin? And if it ever ends. Which consciousness perceives these. This is the question of sentience, of morality, of determining if you can be differentiated from animal. If you can be socialized under abstraction. Under… ideas. Conceptualized. Aimed at imaginary things. Goals. Morality.
.
(n): dream
1. a series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.
.
Are you the objective?
Perfection is subjective, or it cannot exist
What makes a dream American : convincing the world we need it
If I can convince another to want my life : I am justified
---
you look tired this morning : it’s the new look
I’ll grow accustomed to depletion : abundance is costly this quarter
they added dehydrate to the water : famine to the soil : so we could grow another year
.
Look back to old ways for solution : convinced : forefathers could solve a complexity : predict : this life those ways created
How beautiful nostalgia feels : histories torture truth : feign accurate : karma is our gift : memory imperfect
a fight against definition : act as if we are an origin : pick a flag : wave it high : scream with a keyboard : life is a little different when you take unexpected steps : outside
.
Grandiose delusion : the finale and foreshadow
the next dream is our bridge : we float : a cloud’s shadow : between defiance and acceptance
revolution
inevitably, we are the end : misery, fatigue, effort, adventure, war, disease : the only true end is peace, silence, fullness in the void : Nihilism is a rudimentary solution : transient : to be honored on our way to understanding, on our way to believing : transcendent.
it is said that a man seeks purpose to die for, a woman seeks security to create life : neither a reason : to live.
Some built to : find, fight, love : None taught to live : We teach skills, information, concepts, possibilities : We pout for the lack of opportunity.
Shun principled behavior, stay on trend, respect sin : one day you are a god, denounced the next : fall from grace
afraid to fight for value : contagious : from those who can only wish to justify their pain
filled failed pursuit : settle, guard, collect, protect, build more machines, processes
uphold virtue in private, promote the opposite : Lookie lookie isn’t my demise so delicious : filthy : scrape the grime from my teeth and feed it as lust in sheep
pretend we aren’t scrutinized by the infinite
Urgency is anxious. Actions, consequence, as if judgment will be dealt here. Karma must expire now, save me.
Every moment is opportunity gained and peace is allowing the possibilities to pass.
Every decision is made with the sincerity of life and death. Negotiate with the crypt. Every choice of life or of death. The investments towards living—painstaking joy— or death—pleasurable righteous decay. Youth is naive. Maturity a set of twisted imaginary truths.
called to end : consumption : bodily placation.
the infinite unknown : the greatest mystery : curiosity : a human condition
mortals to play archetype
The only perfection is the nature of our paradox
Some of us must tempt death to learn how to live
For the next, they must live with the reality of age increasing vulnerability, forever.
Humans are cryptid : validated by each other : fragile perception.
