...shoot the lights, the party's over. Fill the air with your denial, rain down on the rank-and-file, nowhere is the place you'll be, everybody's there like human feces... Welcome! (pause) Welcome! (pause) Welcome! (pause) Welcome to the World! yeah...
Hear the music, face the pain, listen up, life ain't no game, it's Animal Planet with a razor edge, The Three Stooges with nuclear knowledge, let it go, it's complicated, way too big to be sedated, know one thing, love's not enough, gotta take it on the chin and all that stuff, give it up, the truth ain't there, we made it up and so beware, all words are lies comin' from The Man, you have no voice, scream if you can, "reason" is what you make it, "purpose" is how you shape it, raw emotions are gonna take you down, if you let them hang around, so "Fill It Up With Supah! (pause) Fill it up with Supah! (pause) Fill It Up With Supah!" then burn it up again, yeah...Heaven is a brand new car, and only "That" will take you far, so...?

Jaded??? Somebody??? Anybody???
Yeah, these are very well composed words(contemporary poetry...) I hope they are not some silly rapper's song lyrics. That would hurt even more than their meaning(2PAC and likes would be OK!)
Kudos to you if they are yours... Sorry for you if you really felt this way longer than for the moment of angst that inspired them!
Answer to the "so...?" is: I'm not motivated by these things and/or concerns... they are concerns, but not motivation! I think one can be happy with what is within in a very realistic way! I know I'm not perfect and so is everyone else not perfect. We are all not even close to better than flat...! But it doesn't matter as long as I can take in life's little wonders. Like the look on a new found lover's face (long found in my case). A child's sincere joy and innocence. The dashing August sunsets in South Florida. The memories of happy moments in childhood. The wonder of Knowledge and Poetry... etc. Point made.
PS: Sorry, they can be motivation when you feel it is part of human duty to try to fix them the best we can... but it isn't Anyones duty to stop living over...

[so] ...rhapsody may be a starting or ending, akin to "stream of consciousness". Above is an example of "want of form" for which the poet has the answer in "catharsis". The poet's gift to his audience is relief from the ordinary.
Note this passage: "...'purpose' is how you shape it, raw emotions..."
Raw emotions will be a substrate for intelligence. Denial of intelligence is a denial of human possibility.

You are revealing and profound. I like you better this way. Does it 'feel' natural? Just curious.
