film is dead lifeless ghost haunting realities rolling spinning tapes voiceovers and soundtracks fill our heads spoken words of men long forgotten faded images and emotions that have burned out leaving us fizzled over time living memories made up of eternal yet mortal actors carrying on as if like phantoms on television rotting in the subconscious of some mainstream american culture oh the glory of many random moving pictures dancing like little fat fairies in my little fat head visions ever so eloquently portrayed in black and white often denounce the sobriety of color and the shades of denial clearly culture is slowly consistently deteriorating while recycled plot lines blindly molest driving us ever closer to some hollow intellectually devoid and blissfully ignorant death [This message has been edited by Effigy (edited 09-13-2000).] |

clearly culture is slowly consistently deteriorating while recycled plot lines blindly molest driving us ever closer to some hollow intellectually devoid and blissfully ignorant death Ah yes the hollowness of modern culture, Effigy, excellent thought provoking piece.

Hey thanks everyone, I'm glad that you could enjoy this. I hope the lack of punctuation did not prove to be too confusing. |

Another one of your best works. "Oh the glory of many random moving pictures" That line and the entire following stanza is AMAZING. This one is both lyrically and structurally beautiful. I applaud you. |
