The Adventures of Jerry Springer in the New Fade!

hey
you all
everybody!

it's not intelligent to be amused by
individuals who can't understand themselves
being interviewed by a guy who pretends
that he can make perfect clarity
all while supporting this behavior
as long as he can make
sensational television off of it

and it's not as if i'm just talking
about Jerry Springer
but all those people who live their lives
using the same precepts, those who
support patterns that only repeat
themselves and benefit no one
just because it's what they know
and what makes it easy to go
about their daily lives

what you learned from your parents
even if you will admit you didn't like it then
but are yourself doing now
is harmful and needs to be corrected
not by some totalitarian regime
or dictator interested in chopping people to bit
to amuse himself and ensure his rule
but so that real reform of the human condition
can be undertaken

it's a little absurd that we've allowed ourselves
to grow more feral the more technological
and global progress we've made,
ignoring all good sense while shrinking inward
and pretending that one life does not affect another
if you don't know each other's names
without being told so in that collision

it's like infinite rubbernecking at an accident
on a freeway, backing up traffic on the other side
where nothing is blocking the road except
perverted looks and diverted minds
incapable of seeing what's in front of them
because they're too busy looking elsewhere
