Collective Wonder

An age where you wonder
not because your heart felt
a rush of blood at the sight of beauty,
But because your heart stopped feeling

An age where you wonder
not because eyes didnt stop blinking
at the disbelief of seeing something supernatural,
But, because your eyes got used to seeing.

An age where you wonder
not because of your own instincts
that come from something more profound, more deep,
But, because your mind got used to planning

An age where you are
pleaded, cajoled, warned
To vote, To select, To Identify
The wonders of the world.

This is the age you enter
my friend;
The age of "collective wonder".

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...


...and you finish off as an orgasm."
