Do we really live in a society where those in vogue can expect that no accolades are to be unassumed? Where we willingly and dutifully justify every priveledge taken or bestowed? Declare every action justified? Celebrate every possible success of those we favor? Where the subject matter of each granted recognition should be disregarded as desire for appearence of equivalency with greatness or our need to demonstrate celebratation vs. embarrassment dictates?
I suppose and acknowledge that we do.
That Obama's receipt and acceptance of the Nobel Prize, no matter the humbleness with which it is proudly stated, was only a matter to be considered for the stating of its awarding, for all should now see that his righteous expertise is presupposed, indubitable, as indomitable as his rule; unquestionably bestowable, his will omisalient; his whims conferred as they are blithesomely dispatched by the gratefully obedient; He, along with the noble proclaimers of his validity heralding the manifest reward of his boundless kingdom -- omnipresent, foreseeded complete, soon to be free of all but the besotted adorers with smiles ever-apathetic and ever-loyal, shall live happily ever after knowing that many will be provided.
Less and less often do I wonder what becomes of the rest of us. Every day that is made more clear to any capable of considering. Denial does not slow the pace of our withdrawel. All the shows of concern are laughable, to all, even ourselves if we dare to watch the results. All our arguments ring with too many tempos and fall obtusely. Such will not, and even can not, make a difference-- except that occur by coindence. \
Without a worthy leader with voice shrill and focused enough to resonates us all, our will shall continue to remain fractured and unsharpened, our actions produce near nothing but chaos without possible headway. Too long have we been as such. We become diminished. We are diminished, the new ignored. Dark are the paths I see in every route. Light may not fall fully upon many of us, may be not ever again.
Today, I am saddened, disheartened, and fearful.
