I’ve seen the best minds of my generation destroyed and corrupted, sleek with suborned reality,
dragging themselves through zionist halls of power hooked on illusory security
angelheaded hipsters who’ve grown into fat, visionless pimps divorced from ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo and earth
who cashed up and well-tailored and blood-shot eyed sat up snorting in the surreal smugness of luxury apartments floating across the tops of cities, slavering over greedy more
who bared their brains to Hell under the ADL and saw Mohammedan demons improbably collapse three skyscrapers illuminated,
who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes hallucinating market-based solutions for all but banks and never mentioning perpetual wars for Israel
who were raised up by the academies for their conformist and grovelling odes to surreptitiously acknowledged plutocracy
who cowered in hotel rooms in underwear, burning their money in casinos and parroting the Terror on their flatscreens,
who got busted in their former indiscretions and turned? (closer into the fold of smug elite privilege)
who ate shit to follow illicit orders and scribbled lies for cryptocrats and prostituted their souls day after day
with cash, with ‘power’, with waking nightmares, alcohol and sleaze and endless balls-ups,
incomparable blind alleys of stultifying conformism and no excitement in the mind about a free and undivided world without contrived hatreds and wars
Youthful illuminations a mere memory, green visions now derided, lording it over the powerless with pisshead arrogant neon might-is-right, oblivious to the sun and moon and tree vibrations in a spring they now can only fake, ranting “no tin foil hats”; genuine intelligence long-departed from their minds…
A partial update of Allen Ginsberg’s Howl, for the generation that came next…
