How long have we been living like this?!
Like the day-to-day liars, who can be bribed with empty promises, dead tired, unconscious excited giddy, sleepless mobs; a nodding congregation of wild beasts in a totally artificial hypocritical world - that's how we are, my dear friend!
Human wrecks that can be preserved with poisonous promises, lukewarm black soups with yet another snow of drunkenness, hopeless cherished dreams of luxury, and brainwashed propaganda texts. We would rather lie down between murderous knives and train tracks, if we can be certain that we can hopelessly receive a regular salary, a retired job, or family love that seems more real.
Like disemboweled, farmed, and fattened sheep, we hesitantly walk back and forth in our concrete cages. Our younger generations are already being deliberately mischievous, and our scandal-bestselling books have begun to flourish. No one deliberately wants to discover or scrutinize genuine, unknown literature.
If an industrious hobby writer organizes an unexpected literary evening: that he is promoting himself primarily in a selfish way, and the glorious slogan: "The newer poets must be discovered with dignity!" - You can feel it, you are being unfairly hurt by the many murderous sword criticisms. He feels that only the influential can create new talent here, while the misunderstood prophets and geniuses are deliberately ignored, neglected, forgotten.
They don't argue or have meaningful conversations with each other either in the columns of dictionaries or lexicons. At what age did freethinkers and polymaths die out unknowingly?! "Since when have we been living in a totally intimidated insecurity instead of financial security from one minute to the next?"
How long have we been dumbing down, fattening up our tumorous brain cells on idiotic reality shows for low-style celebrities, tasteless, trendy, nauseating scandals?! Since we lay down with anyone without the flaming fires of courting romance, budding Allness; if he wants it, and his money is like chaff? – We deliberately slipped down careers that were on the verge of sinking, let us fall asleep like mechanized droids in a pile of garbage!
