Where has it gone?

Where is it?


I don't know what brings this about....but it happens every so often. Maybe it's when i actually find the time to leave the house......when i go somewhere and things seem wrong.
Stale.Bland.Plastic.Heartless.

No message. No comprehension.
No question of absence of substance.

Where is the will to reject that i was surrounded by so authentically?.......

i have not seen it for years........at least not in full force. Now everything is a result of memetry. Just accepting the thoughts and unjustified logics of the world around them.

There are of course the obscure few who still retain the vitriolic mind full of dissent.......brimming with art and knoweledge of something greater than self. A purposeless purpose. A slackers jihad. Apathy's mecca. To discard what we are supposed to do and replace it with what we actually want to do. To think and learn and express our discontents and our.................etc.

But where is it? Where has it gone? Has the youth failed so blatantly to find substance? Is it all even more meaningless than even i had imagined?

I just miss it.
I miss when it meant more.
When MEANING was my own.....
and it was also yours
and yours
and yours
and yours.

Now it's all hollow and unimaginative and weak. A world of fashion whores with no great truth to be found.

Where has it gone?

Mission Statment

FUTUREPHOBIC:

Fear that the future will be worse than the present.

As evidenced by the decline in quality of EVERYTHING in the last decade, it's more than a just a fear. It's something commonplace.....and it has almost been accepted wholesale as WHAT WILL BE.....no questions asked.

In a time where originality is scarce and talent is even scarcer and everything is a worthless retread of something that has been done before, there are those who speak of the so called "good ol' days". But very few people putting forward any effort to set it right again.

This is my effort.
