New Bohemia

New Bohemia

A Poem by jonnyboit
"

a characterization of young bohemians

"

money money money

oddly for causes

irrelevant to it...

well, supposedly

those who claim of

socialism, communism, happiness

yet money, more and more

they spend on….

Hyposcrisy?

Their noses rise not to their shoes

designer they are, but the opposite...

those who walk in paisley

cigarettes flailing with banners across

themselves claiming poverty

revering Tolstoy, Ghandi and Lenin

for an image completely unlike

they dwell not in their reverie

nor reality, but a reflection

a superficial image

cast upon themselves in all their glory

Those who care not for capitalism

bathe themselves in it's luxury

For once my escape lied

in the hope of the hipsters

but once, again, I am left

to my cynicism

Without ideals

for humanity, our potential

lies not in principle

but corruption- our hypocrisy
