Silhouetted Censorship
Through silhouetted eyes the world sees
Blinking lights glamour minds
Curving wires bind us to our universe
within a universe
Only seeing what we want
a bubble prison, never popping
Trapped by our own design
Never questioning content
Worshiping the Gods of silicon
Sacrificing time to Deities of the useless
Gorging on the meaningless
Creating monuments to nothing
The vast amount freedom
endless flow of information
has closed our minds
censoring ourselves
We see more
than we ever saw
We here more
than we ever heard
We do less
than we ever did
So, this poem wasn't written with any form in mind; like most of my previous, non-college poems. I just went with content and style. One day, when re-visiting my older poems, I may re-work this one into some type of form. I'm not sure how I'm going to address the older ones in the revision just yet. Regardless, I still like this one, and it's not really that hard to interrupt what I was going for, but I guess you could still see something different.
I wrote this one a few months back, I think. It was far before I considered jumping back into poetry writing as I still think there's not much to be done professionally with it; however, it has been very therapeutic; a big stress relief for the most part.
Now that I'm all out of already written poems, I'm going to have to get back to crafting some new ones!
Speaking of therapeutic, this blog has been pretty stress relieving as well. I'm pretty much only talking to myself most of the time as I don't think anyone else really sees it! Though, it's been pretty fun regardless.
I really dig the social network stuff, too. Google+, Facebook, Twitter, and all that jazz. So much can be done with them. Just gotta master it!
So, I was watching extra credits again, and their topic on Gamification was awesome. I've thought long and hard about the concept and how it can fit into everyday life. I mean, there's so much I get done in games that could really be useful in real life. So, using gamification would be pretty awesome. I first thought about it when wanting to lose weight and how I could make a game of it. After that episode, I think I'm going to give it a shot again.
I didn't beat Infamous 2 last night, but I am so, so very close now. If I get to play today, I should be able to wrap it up. However, I do have some daily quests in WoW to do, and I kinda wanna play some CoD with Dawson. Not to mention a little minecraft. >_>
Oh, and I have bills to go pay, some groceries to pickup, and gotta bring the headset back to ship off for a replacement. So much to do always! I also need more money, so I wonder if overtime will be available this week.
At least I got a bit read in the SC2 novel! Only 60 pages or so, but that's better than zero! It is really well written. People always trash talk the licensed novels like this one (including the WoW stories), but I've always been entertained and felt like they were pretty quality. I guess it depends on how much you enjoy the stories of the Blizzard Universe games, and I like them. Which is why I'd like to write in them!
Anyway, poem down! I think I have some HTML to review! Later!
