Mass Illusion
by Demetrius Heath

Generation X is an illusion
Made by the mass medias confusion
Rebellion is a tendency
Teenagers offend me

The decade the sixties
Hit me like fire
War sings the choir

Pop culture is my obsession
Television my connection
Criticism is my enemy
The epitome of reality

Mysterious predictions
Made by some
Peace, love will come

My addiction is not non-fiction
But sometime it's sickening
Laughter is the sound I adore
In my face I ignore

Crisis in the Middle East
Still no peace?
Arafat, Hussein
Both totally insane

My addiction is culture
Shock value is kosher
Beauty is my worst addiction
Always eccentric
Beauty is a rose
This isn't a prose

Temptation is sexual innuendo
Makes me want to know
Just how deep it goes

Morality is an opinion
Given by its minions
I follow my carnivorous society
A vegetarian doesn't like variety

I'm always hiding from judgers
Since they judge me

Politics amuse me
Politics abuse me
Revolution has always had a thirst for youth against the machine
It has been seen

Manifestations of myself
Screaming let me be
While I cry
I'm free

Realities mad cow
Many noses brown now
Society is a cash cow
Societies opinion
Doesn't get me
I follow my own convictions
All non-fiction

Is society ready
For this confession
All about my obsessions
You should be affected
I'm never respected

I'm really rebellious
Not very careless
This looks like a confession
Showing my depth perception
I answered my own question
