new narrative poem for topic Theme: “Tread Lightly at the Borders of Extreme Action”

 

 

Extreme Nonsense

It was reality TV/social media violence, it seemed everyone was watching. It was a step up from eating slugs on the hit TV show with the flavor of the week extreme radio host. It was the ideology of stylized violence, the first ever interactive platform for raising a monster.

It seemed everyone was watching it, talking about it, meeting about it, taking part in it in different ways, while hating all those who were taking part in it in different ways. We had some postmortem conferences about it and discovered we all went about it the wrong way, but we couldn’t change our ways.

It seemed everyone loved to be extreme. Everyone seemed to ignore the fact that only 10 percent of us are extreme and appreciate extreme things. It seemed everyone forgot that everyone had to deal with
