"FUCK THE WORLD"
plastered on some old sot's fence
by some black-fingered, emo-kid with problems
imagined or real, he's got 'em, and
I'm inclined

I'm inclined to believe they're real (his problems)
I'm inlined to believe that he's an american ambassador
a gen-z advocate of apathy
tempered by fear and want he got watching his parents watch tv for a living
complaning and ignoring the good in most things

their son
their car, house, jobs, family, friends, pastor, parents
their ethic, their faith
and their ability to run to WalMart for whatever they need
and thier ability to pay for it all with plastic
and the river of credit, now a right self-evident

i'd like to meet the kid with the black fingertips
tell him he should smoke more weed
throw out the ICP CDs
and contemplate the beautiful world

    Literally, this exact meaning to your words was on my mind when I left a relatives home yesterday.
    T.V. for a living and they believe the shit too all the while their son is becoming a product of a governed yet manipulated society, inside the home & for only him, will conflict outside the home.

    Nice work.

    hey, thanks, Zarocat!

    I think TV is a horrible habit with the potential to devastate families. I wonder at the lure of brainlessness...
