Carpe Diem Motherfuckers

Thomas W Case

The mediocre march into oblivion
while watching Tik Tok videos
and never reading a 
book or writing a
poem.
They don't know 
the difference between
an orchid or an iris.

The mediocre march into
madness sleeping until
noon, while neglecting
Bukowski and Mozart.
They don't know how
to play an instrument.
No idea what a C
major chord is.
But they know all
the emojis.
The sad sheep masses
don't
know the difference
between a Van Gogh or
Monet painting, and a
digital reproduction on
a coffee cup.
Their phones look 
like grotesque growths
attached to their ears.
Everyone should
contribute to the
cosmic dance,
Carpe Diem
motherfuckers!

    My problem is (or was) that I took so long finding out what Carpe Diem meant, that by the time I found out, it was night, and no more day left to seize. Doh! lol.

    Sieze the day, absolutely wonderful we have all this beauty around us, I live in Florence Italy and i can tell you our culture although magnificent, people are bringing their children up to have cell phones at 8/9 years old and It just breaks my heart. This is a poem that only the intellectuals and those who appreciate art and nature and so on will only truly understand. Sad but a fact of today's world. ❤️

          Today's youngsters are slaves to technology. It seems their lives get updated every 5 days or so, with the release of a new App. They never "read" or "write" anything that isn't encoded for their screens. "The Cosmic Dance," is now overgrown with wallflowers, - Phil A.

            Such true words Thomas, so many people are ignorant about what is really around them nowadays.
