What have we come to?
All the same in the world's fickle views.
Rabid consumerism and over-exposer to the media,
Society's puppeteers.
"Americans express individuality
Through conformity
In brand-name selection."
-Bill Watterson
Few have broken the flow,
Adding what we all secretly recognize.
Furthering the cracks
In "the Mass's" contained river.
A plague of visual hallucinations,
Infecting without mercy,
Until there is uniformed thought
Bringing about a mental Armageddon.
So now we live
In our post-apocalyptic minds,
Fighting to find ourselves
And keep our identity.
Author notes
For Nam: This is the only free-verse poem I've done. I was wondering how I could make it better so that if I attempt another one in the future, it'll be decent.
