Annual decline (a poem on how this year has felt)

Drain the well of words, see the lack of thought thereof and the realisation that twenty sixteen was. The year of dead dreams: now philosophy, ironically, has stagnated for all to see.
Subjective now objective the objective to subject them,
those who don’t agree, who dare not to see. racist liberal greedy illogical free
market closed minded. Bleeding heart, catastrophising.
Open then forced to close, like the case of our time, you stay in your bubble i'll stay in mine.
People of our planet causing constant verbal crime.
Support the change.
Triggered and deranged, hold back the wave racist white slaves,
No grey.
All clean.
Two poles.
All extreme. The fence wrenched down now the world is a battleground, a trillion words floating around, proudly yelling factual blurs, rage and cursing, homophobic slurs, one comment to another warring as lost brothers on every topic that we conceive.
Hear no evil see none too but speak it all and claim its for the good you do, debates no longer exist baiting is the key, cool kids getting edgy to swim in the screams. Two sides now two lines.
Parallels, one direction no change no shift, bullshit take a stride, turn, ride into the night with open eyes see the chinks in their armour and yours and mine. Arguments turn to war no victor, brains littered with bodies intellectual litter causing young minds to decay in fathoms.

have you ever heard the tragedy of humans reverting to animals?


Footnote: This is more of a spoken word piece that will evolve into that medium when i feel confident to do so, in the meantime here's the written poem.
