Patron and Vegas

I wish that consciousness was coveted like patron. Or we wanted to fight for liberation as much as we wanna make it rain in Vegas. Misplaced priorities relegate consciousness to the realm of a skipped preview while the main attraction of ignorance captivates millions. Sadly, millions can recite verses from formulaic Hip-Hop records but cannot remember the last book they read. Then these masses mourn the lost of our youth to a corrupt culture, wondering what went wrong? What went wrong is that ignorance became the accepted vehicle for those to lazy to chase consciousness. So, we rest at the doorstep of destruction with only empty bottles and passing visions of our attempts to live fabricated lifestyles. It is to bad that revolution cannot be reduced to a slogan or that the idea of freedom cannot be accompanied by a dance. It seems these are the prerequisites for cultural embrace. So, pass the bottles and lets purchase more meaningless materials to cover up holes we've been conditioned to bury. Maybe, when revolution can be corporatized and sold as an application for our phones will it be something we finally pay attention to. Let's Get Free!
