The Ones Without a Howl
I have seen the young minds of my generation grow dull, apathetic, cruelly distant,
frozen before a bright white screen with no sound but a symphony of mindless clicking,
They enter a world of status and two-dimensional chatter in which they are trapped and time is
eaten and devoured by a non-existent universe,
They struggle to connect emotion, to action, to human being and waste away in a world of false
friends and stranger families that is only pretended and always scripted,
They imitate art and art has abandoned them to a world without rules, consequences, or
limitations, and so they jump without a look to see how far they will fall,
They express themselves to express themselves without ever really expressing themselves,
They drift father and father away from those they have left behind in language, culture, and
social norm and are left with a society of their own creation that they fail to comprehend,
They look at the world with glazed eyes: they look, comprehend, don’t comprehend, distance
themselves from, and laugh at a world of reality,
They strive for, claim, and imitate uncaring, and so they are left with nothing, given nothing,
leave nothing of any real value. They are the ones without a care to howl for.
