campus obscura

generation beat back the old peace dope.

generation beat back make sure to thank the greatest.

generation beat, too spoiled to tolerate debate.

generation beat started school too early, can’t cope!

hipster nostalgia miners lumberjacks the vote age,

race rage, war wage, draft age. when is armistice day?

crybaby... realize this is the militarization of american youth!

sit there read ‘citizen’, you’re being manipulated that’s truth.

naysayers naysaying, chasing learning curves with no empathy.

walking PC straight to collapse, on a defined trajectory.

black helmets, white helmets, camouflaged helmets,

walking concussions in all colors, all genders, all spectrums!

million student march caught in shadows of campus obscura,

whooped up in frenzy, take the quad... look at me! look

at me! guess what baby you’re not real, you’re just a target...

bespoke and smitten, drifting from war to war on their financial hook.

four pillars rise, pillars fall. bigger enemies wait for divide

and conquer, while you’re talking past each other. onside

kick the dapper hipster playing the vintage global change game,

show your hand psyche game, belligerent entitlement shame.

tenured bastion of ballyhoo hatched a parlor devil’s finger fungus,

releasing homegrown salvo of syrian confusion amongst us.

the pontiff of plight lambastes this foray in the smoke of hookah,

awaken in your safe place with trigger warnings from campus obscura.

generation beat fed liberally from mason jar filled with repeat history.

generation beat coddled put on hat day then buttered up the bacon,

generation dwell as ability and necessity, close to thou, thee, and thine of podsnappery.

gen-z, i-gen, post millennials regurgitate irony but please awaken!

where do you go after you have fetishized, defanged, skinned every fringe movement

sickened with the anxiety of influence, mainstreaming a resample of campus obscura!?

TO WAR!
