"What is it about society that
disappoints you so much?"
~ So Called Realists
Oh, I don't know, is it that we
collectively thought Steve Jobs was a great man even when we knew he made billions off the backs of children?
Or maybe it's that it feels like all
our heroes are counterfeit, the world itself just one big hoax.
Spamming each other with our running
commentary of nonsense masquerading as insight, our social media faking as intimacy.
Or is it that we voted for this? Not
with our rigged elections.
But with our things, our property,
our money. But I'm not saying
anything new. We all know why we do
this. Not because earrings or the Hunger Games books makes us happier.
But because we want to be sedated.
Because it's painful not to pretend. Because we're cowards.
