Ravings of a dreamer
Confusion and misinformation is the social food
that has been fed to young generations
for a long time now- inner dissention has peaked
and ignorant religious folks have already labeled it,
"the plague of apathy".
Disconcern for social standards along with subtle rebellion
is closer to the truth of this plagues nature;
social collapse and redecoration is inevitable-
besides, the world is in desperate need for reform
on a global scale. Lets pray Gen X doesn't touch up
the mask of govermental/political control;
lets hope they invent a new mask.
Universal Karma in my opinion
has ultimately landed in the black scale;
greed and materialism satisfy the human need
for a false sense of order and control- the illusion
of power.
Arrogant deviants such as myself
take great pleasure in being apart of this chaos;
this fusion of energy in corroding stability-
Thats what makes me one of few ultimate rogues,
despite the many that feel that me and others alike
are simply dope motivated gothic dullards-
judgement is ignorance.
But change comes slow;
I see the world crawling like a snail
with corrosive sludge marking alterations made
and current destination.

ECCLES: Ohohoooo. What do all dem woords mean den?
SEAGOON: I don't know, but they make me sound intelligent. In any case, they fooled you.
ECCLES: Oh, yeah well, you needn't have used such long words, small words fool me just the same.
I can't help thinking there's a simpler way to say the same thing, but I guess the vocabularic diarrhea, and I mean that in the nicest possible way, is a style - and I really won't fault you for that. I think the thing does encapsulate a complete thought, as well.
I'm forced to consider the merrits of this style, however; it raises questions as I read the piece ... Who is your audience? Is the style consistent with the message? And a broader question: what is the value of language?
See what happens? I completely ignore the message and go right to the method of conveyance.
