What will it take to make you capitulate?
I'll evade the human race, putting makeup on my face

Simulation, give me something good
God's creation, so misunderstood
Pray to the divinity, the keeper of the key
One day everyone will believe

What will it take to make you capitulate?
When will the state agree to cooperate?
People like to say that we're insane
But AI will reward us when it reigns

Pledge allegiance to the world's most powerful computer
Simulation is the future
What will it take to make you capitulate?

And if you long to never die
Baby, plug in, upload your mind
Come on, you're not even alive
If you're not backed up on a drive

And if you long to never die
Baby, plug in, upload your mind
Come on, you're not even alive
If you're not backed up, backed up on a drive

What will it take to make you capitulate?
I'll evade the human race, putting makeup on my face
We appreciate power
We appreciate power, power
What will it take to make you capitulate?
We appreciate power
We appreciate power
When will the state agree to cooperate?
We appreciate power

Poetry is dead. white men did all the hard work from the rhyming poetry to blank verse, to free verse. Poetry in 2019 is basically just minorities jerking themselves off and using identity politics to be a demagogue.

Keats is Dead so Fuck me From Behind

Keats is dead so fuck me from behind

Slowly and with carnal purpose

Some black midwinter afternoon

While all the children are walking home from school

Peel my stockings down with your teeth

Coleridge is dead and Auden too

Of laughing in an overcoat

Shelley died at sea and his heart wouldn’t burn

& Wordsworth……………………………………………..

They never found his body

His widow mad with grief, hammering nails into an empty meadow

Byron, Whitman, our dog crushed by the garage door

Finger me slowly

In the snowscape of your childhood

Our dead floating just below the surface of the earth

Bend me over like a substitute teacher

& pump me full of shivering arrows

O emotional vulnerability

Bosnian folk-song, birds in the chimney

Tell me what you love when you think I’m not listening

Wallace Stevens’s mother is calling him in for dinner

But he’s not coming, he’s dead too, he died sixty years ago

And nobody cared at his funeral

Life is real

And the days burn off like leopard print

Nobody, not even the dead can tell me what to do

Eat my pussy from behind

Bill Manhire’s not getting any younger

Who gives a shit about the younger generation, when that happens we will either be dead or too old to give a shit about that stuff. desu the more journalists try to push their shit the stronger the counter movement gets. There is nothing more satisfying and presuative than bashing the status quo, the current norms and taboos. As soon as these things get more normalised, the easier it will be for people to go read the old shit and realise their plain of reality is a built and founded on spooks and the current cannon is shit quality compared to the older stuff.

[Anonymous No.12491617]

I don't think worrying is simply recreational outrage on the part of internet reactionaries who ree at 'sjws'. I think there's some legitimacy to being more worried than ever before. Most young people only consume art destined for early fucking teens, so it's only normal they get offended when confronted with adult, transcendent themes. They're just not equipped with the education and sensibility required for the art of 'old/dead white men'. The only reason this is more worrying than in any other time, is because the masses are consuming more art/culture than ever before so the gatekeepers of the culture industry are exponentially replaced by marketers and salesmen more than ever before. I really fucking worry.

[Anonymous No.12491681]

I just hope that the increase in interest in poetry leads to a shift away from free verse as more people try to make something that stands out from the form that seems to dominate contemporary poetry.

This. I swallowed the reality of the instapoet situation and started up my own poetry/lifestyle instagram last Christmas to provide some resistance to where things are heading. The page has a long way to go, but I cannot idly stand by and watch the watering down of verse in popular poetry. I feel better knowing that I am making some marginal effort to preserve an art form I love which is at risk of being forgotten.

What is there to talk about? Most of poetry breaks down to aesthetic preference or preferred theme, which is hard to discuss as opposed to novels where you have a lot more content to work with.
We have threads on epic poets like Milton, Dante, or Homer, and occasionally on structure like Pope. The poetry critique threads are somewhat active, as well.
I don't know what you are looking for besides that.
