21st Century Mind
The ideological echochambers created by our society
limit the human mind from gaining broader understandings of the world around it, of other humans.
Our society bases it's knowledge on the generalizations
it has of what it sees. It is engulfed in it's own psyche.
When I call you lowbrow I display my ignorance.
What do I know of you? The little I know of you?
We have so much to learn
but our clinging to thought only adds
to the confusion.

Poetry is important to my life because it gives me a way of saying things I never imagined were in me. My poems deal with all kinds of subjects, my attitude on today's culture, art, corporations, nature, etc. But these aren't the only things that I write about in my poetry. I don't have a favorite poet, but probably Michael McClure is the poet I have learned the most from, from his readings on YouTube.
