How Much Longer?
written by: Madeline St.Martin
The tortured minds are prosecuted.
The poets and painters are hung.
We worship plastic and discard dreams.
We place movie stars on pedestals while thousands are starved and shot.
Thinking is discouraged-
distractions flood the infinite bank of entertainment.
Minds grow fuzzy and opinions grow weak.
Every second humanity becoming more alike,
But how long until no abnormalities exist?
How long until we all have straight blond hair and perfect white teeth?
How long until we all laugh in unison?
How long until every revolutionary is lost under the sea of sameness?
How long until we stop thinking for ourselves all together?
I am a young writer based in AZ. I have won multiple creative writing /essay contests. I mainly write poems and short stories but I have written a few essays and manuscripts. Writing has been my passion for as long as I can remember, since first grade at least.
