Modernism has left no where to turn,
and at the same time no wrong turn to make.
Normalcy is a threat. Conformity is a disease.
Try to make a unique path,
and find that tolerance has swallowed the land
Shock’s value is dwindling.
For what is appalling today,
will have followers tomorrow.
Conform to the popular, or
wallow it the rest of those
who conform to non-conformity,
either way identity, the moving target,
will be nowhere to be found.
Transcendentalism has left no trace
of all things once thought to be black and white.
What’s wrong is right, and what’s right is wrong, right?
Obscurity is the new age mark of intelligence.
Planned obscurities give way to brilliance,
and the long fought after wisdom
that only age was thought to bring.
Embrace openness,
the acceptance of all ideas and expressions,
and watch the soul that makes it decisions
based on its own opinions disappear.
Pray, let these words possess you now,
for you will forget them tomorrow.
Fear not the things written
for they come from a past that cannot be changed.
Fear instead the fact that
through modernism and transcendentalism,
through the breakthrough of openness,
and the extermination of opinions,
shattered mirrors still clutter dark minds,
and a wondering heart will still opt to wither
before its secrets are revealed.
