Tempus Fugit
Do you find yourself transported
at times
by a particular regret
or apprehension of the knowledge
of the end of time
and can’t wait for a circular motion
away from a dangerous and alienating past?
Is there any raison d’etre for a
dystopia society,
a bad place
that cruelly punishes by slightest show
of rebellion
a world that praises and rationalizes violence
by law and murders its own citizens?
What will it take to save an oppressed society
enslaved and dysfunctional,
Rescue the repressed intellectual
taken to nightmarish extremes?
How long before we escape
the total absolute destruction
of social order
Continue the struggle to overturn evil
Resolve the conflict
Change things for the better?

And I commented on it. Ha. Oh well, I still stand on the fact that this is good. Sorry for the double and now triple posting, I just made the mistake of not seeing my comment.

Nice polemic. Very nice indeed, this societal crash that is occuring now is a perfect example of entropy, the consistent breakdown of any one system. There may be a rise in the steadily dropping curve, but eventually, all ceases to be. The bright side is, you're intelligent enough to spot it, and poke at it, if thats at all a bright side? Powerful piece here, if you could work out a way to spit this publically, it would draw allure. People typically prefer rhyme because they're indolent and wish for things to be plain and easy to spot. However, its a great work in any event. Good job!

This was a wonderful piece. I am going to be coming back more as we're in each others AP fams yet we never comment on each others work. This piece was very passionate, had a stern and concise voice and was really excellent. Some very interesting questions posed here..
