FERGUSON, EBOLA, ISIS, OH MY

A poem I wrote in reaction to such current events as Ferguson, Isis and ebola...


PSYCHOKINESIS

by matt burns

Boiling fears

And loathings
Fester in our subconscious
And fester
And fester

Some people say

These repressed energies manifest themselves
Physically
In the outer
Three-dimensional world
And cause actual physical events

So when you watch the Reality TV with all the 

Jersey bro-dudes
And the Hollywood Hillbillies
And the Honey Boobies
Honey Boobies’ mom was dating a sex offender?!
Cancel the show!
And you read the blogs about the “celebutards”
And see Kim Kardashian’s big, greasy ass on a magazine cover
Then come all the scandals
Bill Cosby
America’s favorite dad
A rapist?!
Disillusioned we are
And enraged we all get!

Then we watch the news

And there’s
Isis
Ebola
Then comes Fergusonola
White cops shooting blacks
Black criminals looting 
Burning down stores
Beating down whites!
Then comes Staten Island
Another black strangled by a cop
No indictment
Civil war imminent?!
The media makes us take a side
Are you with the cops?
Or with the blacks?
Fear the cops!
Fear the blacks!
They pit us against each other
Go and protest!
Polarized we become
And divided we rot
We can’t unite and get anything done
Frustration
Rage!

And collectively…


The negative energy

In each and every one of us
Psychokinetically
Manifests itself
As more negative energy in the world
And more bad events happen
Bad weather – superstorms, quakes, tornados, floods!
Bad disease
More bad Kardashian photos
(Kourtney just posed preggo and naked)
Disgusting
So gross!

And the media reports on these events

And we get even more loathing 
And more fear
And the negative collective consciousness
Psychokinetically
Manifests more negative events in the world

It’s a perpetual cycle of negativity

A snowball effect
A guarantee
That there will be constant fear
And loathing
Absolute hell
For all eternity

There is a great, epic war out there

Not good vs. evil
But positivity vs. negativity
Negative energy wants to win
But will we let it?
