Written Against Cultural Stagnation: The Poem

My work is a written orientation with few feelings evaded
for the sake of my sanity some feelings are not debated
They say “how can you have so much love, you don’t seem elated”
as if they know me inside and somehow they’re related
It’s safe to say when I found love I upgraded
and that the ego in my heart got inflated
But at the end of the day, I hope people are persuaded
to focus on the problem of why we are so degraded when depicted
becoming the victims who willingly participated
The demeaning of our culture is being celebrated
The nation’s ignorance is being congratulated
That may be why my soft side is gated
All along they told me my thoughts were outdated
They say it’s no more power in the people and my words are wasted
on a generation where ignorance is not only bliss, but emulated.
