I will not spend money I do not have, to pay for schooling in skills I do not need, so I can acquire a job i do not want, so that i make more money than i have use for, except to pay back loans nobody should need in order to learn, in order to build intangible credit, with which to buy an overpriced home, to house the materialistic family I will not have, and park the new car i will not buy, so that my non-existent children can grow to repeat the process. NO! I will keep my one bedroom apartment. I love my fifty year old car. I will not buy your shiny, new, useless crap! I will not contribute to the massive overpopulation of the Earth. I WILL SMOKE ALL THE WEED I FUCKING FEEL LIKE SMOKING. I will resist your sick, self-destructive, murderous and embarassing consumer culture with all the fire within my heart. I will live peacefully on simple pleasures and joy. I will help those I hold dear and aid them against the pull of your world ending shortsightedness. I WILL do what is RIGHT, not what is LEGAL, not what is “expected” I will learn from life, love, literature, and your mistakes. I will not die for your poor decisions, nor participate in the living death you call the American dream. You have nothing I want. I have everything I need. I expect nothing from you. If you seek my peace I will share it. If you come to me as a brother I will love you as one. I am truly alive. |
