“Instead of framing new words, I recommend to you any kind of artful management by which you may be able to give a new air and cast to old ones” [1. From the Notes to Ars Poetica by Horace added by Ricard Hurd<\/a>, p. 50.]<\/div>\n
Angry. Fourfold. Compare yourself \r\nto the greatest, are you greatness? \r\n\r\nIf I presume it, I am not, rotting. \r\nTipsy, frosty world, rooms shaking.\r\n\r\nTo be great means not to dwell on\r\nwhat's a cliché but what's worthy\r\nnot of prizes but of honest causes. \r\n\r\nHumility should come before a prize, \r\nbut it doesn’t! Values underrated. \r\n\r\nThe fuzzy line between honor, truth, \r\nclarity has been broken in favor \r\nof homelessness. Senseless. The ire \r\nspreads in silent bills, ignored but \r\nmore present than a breath untold. \r\n\r\nWe are told to forget distress \r\nin a shopping cart, we comply. \r\n\r\nThat’s what we’ve trained to do\r\nbest, commerce is prior to life. \r\n\r\nWhat can be done if we are trapped\r\nin a procession toward a vacuous \r\npossession? The finale renewed, \r\nshows continued, the end of a set\r\nis designed to replace old desires\r\nwith new ones. We are trapped in \r\na tapping against a glass floor.\r\n\r\nThe tap tap is meant for me to fall \r\nhypnotic enough to ignore the lack\r\nof fulfillment. True liberty is not \r\na fan of choices but an approximation  \r\nto an openness near mia dulce casa.\r\n\r\nThe closer you are to homelessness,\r\nthe bleaker your future will feel.\r\n\r\nYou’ll drown in choices set for you.\r\nYou'll tumble unable to freechoice.\r\n\r\nWe are homeless while fake idols \r\nclose deals beside of our whipped \r\nbacks, ignorance does not forgive \r\nconsequences. To live for change \r\nof channel, a remote control with \r\nno numbers, only two symbols and \r\nan unfulfilled promise, is death.    \r\n\r\nWe fought for choices, it's ironic  \r\nwe only have two, three, a few more \r\nbut where’s fulfillment? Tap tap. \r\n\r\nWe have been so focused on attaining \r\nenlightenment, freedom to choose, \r\nthat we mistook the eerie tap tap \r\nfor a natural noise. We ignored\r\nthat the tap tap denies us what is\r\nmore important than having a pair\r\nof choices: the unlimited abundance  \r\nhidden in our chaotic complexity. \r\n\r\nThe creative explosion where justice\r\nhasn’t yet been formed, but where \r\ntruth is allowed to live to shine\r\na path for justice to follow. If \r\nwe could realize that the tap tap \r\nis not what we really want, would \r\nyou stop tapping to distract your\r\nself from the lack of fulfillment?\r\n\r\nWould I stop the tapping in time\r\nto feel there's anger under apathy? \r\n\r\nTap tap, hypnotic ignorance, tap \r\ntap, tap, I vow to wake up after \r\none last tap, TAP, TAP, TAP, T.A.P.\r\n\r\nThe dance feels so mighty, enthralled \r\nwe get to forget some anxious moans. \r\n\r\nIt is the instantaneous, infectious \r\ntap, a tap for a tap, the choice \r\nto tap tap, an infinite scroll toward \r\na nothingness that eats us alive.\r\n\r\nSecond after second, we empty \r\nour sand clock for the freedom \r\nto tap. Will we say it's enough?\r\nWill I choose to stop tapping?\r\nWill I decide to free myself \r\nfrom those alienating desires? \r\n\r\nDo I possess the ability to stop \r\nthe tap tap or has my apathy sold \r\nmy fulfillment for a bleak future? \r\n\r\nTap tap. I’m losing faith as the GREAT\r\ntap tap as much as us. They even deny \r\nthere’s a tapping going on to protect\r\nthe gates from us. In this tipsy, frosty,\r\nrisky world, I hear the grass cracking but\r\ndo you? It's a bitter window, shattered.\r\n \r\nOh dear, don’t tap tap while barefoot.\r\nI hope I can hear before the glass floor \r\nC \r\n        R \r\n                A \r\n                        C \r\n                               K\r\n                                       S\r\n                               .\r\n                 .\r\n.\r\n<\/pre>\n
Don’t judge the quality of another based on merely postmodernist rules. We need to go back to the past to construct a more creative future than the one we have been given. Read my post, How to break patterns like Shakespeare?<\/a>, to understand what I mean.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
