Will they gaze at a strip mall where a field had once been? <br/> Will they think they’re born late like the way we now do it?<br/> Or will they curse at the present and lend credence to it?<br/> Will they hear all the old songs and think they’re all true and hate all their own songs and everything new? <br/> Well I’m here to tell you something that’s known, from someone who’s lived it from someone who’s grown, the somebody who somebody once loaned a home to.<br/> The grass is always greener, the past is always cleaner, the present is crap and everyone’s meaner.<br/> They say we’re moving towards something but I think we’re moving from something.<br/> There are some folks who are more apathetic and then there are some folks who are more money grubbin’. <br/> Well, I know there’s always been greed and green acres, and war and peace makers. And then there’s your takers and your leavers, your havers and your needers. <br/> And in this great froth as we skim through the batter, there’s now many more of the former and less of the latter. <br/> Help us climb out of this pitfall disaster led by dynasties, charlatans, but not poetasters. <br/> Where there is a mortal disconnect spawned by gluttonous connection, where you pick your own culture without viewer discretion. <br/> Where there is no more history and nothing is learned.<br/> Where you shun all your kin and all your bridges are burned. Where you are what you buy and you’re who what you own; and you think of yourself and you live all alone.<br/> You make yourself feel fine when everything’s wrong. <br/> The world keeps turning but you’re brittle as bone.<br/> So to all you future dreamers and lovers and leavers, to all those who know there’s still something between us that binds us and reminds us of times that passed, I appreciate you listening to this one man’s last gasp.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrCe-mA_m14"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrCe-mA_m14">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrCe-mA_m14</a></a></em>http://emilygordon.tumblr.com/post/50037207331http://emilygordon.tumblr.com/post/50037207331Thu, 09 May 2013 17:23:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m48ns29jyV1qdm6dfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>OMG</p>http://emilygordon.tumblr.com/post/32651907789http://emilygordon.tumblr.com/post/32651907789Mon, 01 Oct 2012 00:15:33 -0400
