Life As An Oxymoron (Revised 2009)

We have a
Love, hate,
disconnected relationship,
with eachother's selves.
A cause resulting in
a singular duality,
that vigorously stagnates
our seemingly extinct existence.

Probably because
the practicing preachers
have dead lives.
While, religious politicians
tell believable lies.
Raising our lowered,
expectant agnosticism.

We learn to act natural
when we're alone together.
Clearly misunderstood
because our minds constantly change.

We give to what takes
and vise versa.
Always never saying;
wouldn't it be nice,
to be nothing?
To go nowhere...

But alas,
we are the pushed driven,
children parents,
of a once found, lost generation.
Caught and released
into an anarchic civilization.

Which ends up, leading to,
our paranoid rejection of rational assimilation
and/or
a logically absurd
form of vicarious existentialism.
A fantastic reality.....
maybe, maybe not?

But a society of individuals,
seems mutually exclusive.
But because of our false hope
in our legal freedoms,
our eyes are wide shut
to this minor crisis.
And although it's old news,
its still pretty ugly.

We are politically-correct,
Pro-life, woman's rights and
death penalty-supporting,
God-fearing, capitalistic,
SUV-driving, environmentalists.
Wanting to go to heaven, but trying to live forever.
This cognitive dissonance knows no demographic.
From listeners of Biggie Smalls
to Fatboy Slim.
But this is just my unbiased opinion.
