ADDicted Eye-dripper

Mountain Dew & bacon grease

Pop the pill and masturbate

Swing the gate and enter in

Electric tomb-womb haze

 

American atrocity

Mommy’s little middle-ager

Major complications

With reality control

 

Smoke a bowl & numb the ache

X-Box coffin-couch A.C.

Syndromes built to ease the truth

ADDicted to the slump

 

Dry-hump the ecstasy

Purpose hung in sleep-stasis

Creepy bathrobe troglodyte

Vampire-infant-flee

 

Knee-deep in peach nectar

Sucking on the honeycomb

Eye-roll, eggroll, over-burn

Turning in the sun

 

Wannabe philosophizer

Belly-jiggling chin-dipper

Wildflower tipping point

Sodomize the need

 

Mother-corpse consumerism

Semen-stained economy

Cigarettes and Vaseline  

Keeping death alive

In the end it starts again

Reset the PlayStation

Frustration reroute

Taxpayer sewer grate

 

Nothing great to share

What a rant! Somehow with you leading the band, I want to fall in line and march along.
You have captured the milieu of 21st Century nothingness, with its fixation on sexuality, materialism, instant gratification and boredom. Something very important has been lost from the psyche of modern man - higher purpose.

[Backlight Burner]

Wow!!

[Hollow Man]

b***h slap to modern society! hit me harder! everything i try and keep away from. god damn this world needs helps.

[John Jackson (El Juero)]

Poetry slam work. I wish you could do this for members of Congress-the corporate conduits to the voting Zombie. Excellent write, true as a ringing bell. Harsh, raw, in your face. much needed right now.

[Adelia Alighieri]

I so agree with Robin. This was sheer.

bravo! We have progressed!?! Always thought we were moving to fast to keep up with technology..made to slow us down..every in an instant..coffee, soup, cash, express checkouts, money, life...we marvel at our own stupidity..

an ODe to the loathsome ...

Ode to the modern man! Makes me want to throw up. The concept of course... not this poem. You did a great job glueing all those nasty pieces together. Brilliant.

[freelancejouster]

your words attack eachother, fighting for attention in a slow tangle of limbs and a massive fight. a violent picture of mediocracy, i like it.

[OT]

ahh rant on my mechanically maniacal friend!! another brilliant poem - you must be tired of this now... but well you deserve it! haha - so many things captured in this - kerry has pointed most of it out! just another great piece!!

[Cocoacandy]

hmmm... nice... i like that even when i started to drift away from reading to do something else, the next thing i read pulled me back in. good write! good work, keep it up.
