floating down the
drain the intelligence out of everything
panders to the lowest
common thinking breeds
lethargy is a communicable
disease carrying insect
boring us to death
rattle is the white
noise broadcasting the end of
intelligent design is flawed
thinking for yourself is a thing of the
past, present and
future generations are slated for demolition
crews are standing in wait
for the moment in time
keeps on ticking
clocks count downward
spiraling out of
control your thoughts are not your
own up, step up to the
challenge yourself to raise the bar

    Very well put, there is no bar - there is no box. All the greatest works were created from incongruousness, not congeniality. Well done.

    Done with the flavor of A.D.D., which is a style that's growing on me. Nicely written, wonderfully put.

    This is something that strikes very true to today. Very well done. I don't know how many times a week I acually hear the raise the bar phrase. But it is nice to see it outside of the army :D haha, -Heather-
