An Outcome of Writing Without Thinking
Worldwide crusaders ride and fight for the issues of the here and there. Sometimes they fight because they are needed, and sometimes they fight because they need to do so. But, who will fight for the fighters who to this foreign land and overlord their laws, morals, ethics, ideas, teachings, dress, customs, accents, and stylings? And, speaking of styles, what is the style of the States? Is it hip? Is it Hip/Hop? Is it business casual or haute couture? Is it redneck or beatnik? Is it patriotic or documentary?
“Melting Pot” is what the culture was called at the turn of the century. What is it called today? Maybe it’s the “Microwave” culture, (one-minute on a spin plate and you are nice and tasty.) But, is it just the flavor for the day or the next wave of the future only to change with the next, new iPod? Go ahead and have it all and tell everyone that you do on a bumper sticker before you rear-end the person ahead of you. How can one stand the fast-food, drive-through, big & bigger TV lifestyle that is filled with stuff but not substance?
So who will come from far away and ride his horse to the rescue of the fair maiden of Global-American culture? Who will awaken the masses out of their multi-stimuli fog of daily techno-advanced slumber? Will there be new laws, cultures, morals, ethics, and abilities? I don’t know if those asleep want to wake up and move, but I know that there are limits to the things one can acquire. There is beauty in the freedom of nothingness. There is wonder in the dark, starlit sky. There is newness in a trail leading away from civilization. Pollution (noise, water, air, food, spiritual, et cetera) is only for the worse for all. So then the pollution of consumerism will also rot the world. So where are the fighters and writers and crusaders and movers of souls who will ask for more from life and others? Are they not here or are they silenced? Maybe they are connected to the “net” or possibly stuck on the “web.” Someone needs to march and ride and shout the news. WAKE UP! This culture is as hollow as the hole in “Wonderland.” Be aware. Be awake. Be mobile. Be vocal. Do not sleep. Do not slumber. Do not go to the grave possessed by things, but possess the things that truly matter.
