Freedom-Spenserian Word Sonnet

Chatty city

Laughing lights

Witty gossipy

Fuckwit shiny knights

Endless flights

Drag queens

Beautiful *frights*

Beaches pristine

Turquoise seas

Lots of Ciroc

Numb lonely

Sore cocks

Not looking for a place to call home--

Looking for a place to die with freedom

All ways

resighcull

it will be a

dark crusade

but the chrome

lybrary is ok to danse

inside. the virtual dubstep

musesick reads on repeat. the

fractal ++ code and endless  print

only a fruity loop studio and apophasis

generator. a tool and nothing more nor less

First Amandmeant

Speak only to your own ears. Express yourself, but follow all our rules. Rebel, but not really; no radical paradigm shifts or Jacobin rifts. Just make some meaningless politically convenient noise, compose some pretty, marketable country-life sonnets, write some trashy romance novels with some spanking, paint some fluffy flowers, make some more Tom Cruise movies, sculpt some more sexy bodies, all those would be just perfect.

But please stop with the socially unacceptable critique and the Nietzschean antisocial experimentation. We have a way of handling troublemaking deviants; we have a way of handling extreme avant-garde artists. We call them crazy, or we call them criminals; usually both, before we burn them at the stake with an American flagstaff shoved through their unpatriotic bleeding liberal hearts. After all, if voting changed much we’d make it illegal.
