i saw the best minds of my generation seduced by
corporate capitalism, distracted calloused oblivious,
pleasing clients in hip offices in the afternoon
after the next big project,
accessorized hipsters apathetic to the world outside
their little insulated bubbles refusing to see the bigger context,
who amused and sarcastic and ego-driven and narcissistic sat
up laughing in the artificial comfort of
fashionable bars floating through gentrified parts of the city
contemplating money,
who bared their brains for career within companies and
saw lifestyle brands reaching target audiences successful,
who passed through universities with sexy cool eye wear
dreaming of fame attending exclusive social functions
among the celebrities of tomorrow,
who graduated with honors from the academies for excellence &
publishing fresh ideas on their fresh personal blogs ,
who conformed upwardly mobile in tasteful denim,
untouched by distant horrific reality reduced to soundbytes and choosing
to ignore their removed complicity in it all.
