Manifesto [for today's youth]

By splatterberry

28 September 2006

Consumerism is my dogma
And conformity my daily bread
Acceptance is my retribution
For all the lies that I‘ve been fed

The media is my holy truth
And naivety is my reward
They ask for blind obedience
And I faithfully stand accord

I accept my spoon fed morals
And with ignorance I am blessed
To the dying gods of those before
My sins of liberty are confessed

I will sacrifice opinion
On the altar of the damned
I will resist freedom’s temptation
And abrogate all I am

So with redemption in servility
And salvation in ambsace
By the son of lust and miscreancy
I am delivered by his grace.

Ambsace?

ambsace [taken from dictionary.com];
1. the lowest throw at dice, the double ace.
2. bad luck; misfortune.
3. the smallest amount or distance.

Thanks...

It doesn't read like a manifesto. More like a mantra or a vow of non-entity. Or even a prayer?

I can see where you are coming from though - the empty meaningless reality of modern existence.

Thought provoking - for that I thank you.

P.S. Ambsace is not in my Oxford Dictionary (Hardback). Perhaps it has become obsolete ?
:roll

dictionary.com listed the word as archaic so obsolete is a pretty good guess

thought provoking is what i try for... so thanks :D

Yes, sounded like a mantra/prayer. I liked this for its unusual delivery this idea. It was thought provoking.

Phil.
