The State of the Union
Utter
chaos. Absolute insanity. Total foolishness and a complete lack of regard.
This is how I would describe the state of our country at this moment. If it were many years ago and I was a child
and you would have told me that this is the way our country would look when I
was this age, I would have made a strong case for your need for therapy. There’s no way I could have ever seen this
coming. The division, the strife, the
apathy, the petty division; it all seems a means to a very, very ugly end. Personally, I can’t stand it. It’s driving me crazy.
Here’s
the important question, as we narrow the scope of this problem: What is
the goth community doing to improve the situation? If you read my last blog, you’d know that I
don’t think we’re doing a damned thing to improve the situation. Here’s where I wax all dreamy and (most
likely) non-sensical. What if we lit the way to change? What if we
were the ones to set the example? How
about we set aside all the nonsense and rise above the bullshit (please pardon
the crudeness) to actually be the example?
That would be amazing and inspiring!
But, sadly, we probably won’t.
We’ll just keep wearing weird clothes and pretending we live somewhere
else.
The
crux of the situation is this: Somebody has to do something. Wouldn’t it be
cool if it were us? I don’t know about
you, but I do consider myself a bit of a patriot. I love this country, even if we are a
complete mess. And I’m not pointing
fingers. The mess of this country goes
back a very long time. We just never
fixed it along the way. Oddly enough,
we’ve all been searching for validity.
Well, here’s our chance. If you
can’t be part of the solution, please wear your weird clothes in another
country. There are far too many
benchwarmers here already. I’m headed to
the frontlines. Hope to see you there.
