The Question


The Questionnaire

The instant trapping of those who wonder is in popular demand.

Popular culture has ceased to be created by the populous.

Corporations corporate with the names we glorify.

And those who search for the answer as to why discover a jungle.

They are consumed by the heart of darkeness And as such we lable them as crazy and ask not how they became so.

Puppets of the master, we thirst for the fame.

Technology and media set the stage.

Open for imitation of no relation to the questionnaire.

Yet we have been filling them out all of our lives.

And demographics draw the lines on the map of separation.

Red white and blue do not bleed together as the results of our wars do.

Though violence is the birth mother of America.

Originated from the revolution, to the peculiar institution, back to the conquest, and rushing forward to the present solution…. The elimination of the separation from the questionnaire.
