to be thrown and stoned
by the place you call home
always the case in America
for a mind overgrown
seems to takes eons
for the crowd to wake
and its usually too late
to get back what they take
folding you into a box so clear
trying to turn u into something
they dont fear
trying to make things foreign
even when they are not
makes me feel those brains
are the size of a microdot

I know i have posted like 10 times in the past two days, but my job is boring and it requires me to sit in front of a computer screen all day long.
bro....that's the point of this whole project. writing is, in general (to me, anyway), a cathartic experience. this blog is an outlet, a release valve.
post on, my friend, post on...

Hokay, basicall this was not written about anything i have experienced. It is directed at the mentality that has tormented all great artists that are from AMerica, and that are true geniuses, visionaries, etc. Ennui being a french word that means something in the realm of angst, a struggle. I just was thinking about how so many great artists in America never make anything of themselves while they are alive or producing their best work, and it made me depressed. This is what came out. The last stanza that states" trying to make things foreign even when they are not" is meant to symbolize how, in america, people who dont understand something, even if its a concept firmly established in their realm of existence, blow it off as bullshit, or unamerican.
very nice...i get it now, fully.
