Fame

All of the beautiful art in the world
can't compensate for a broken heart
beaten down by dejection,
degradation a daily routine
until the straw breaks.

Face it:
we want to be shared
we shout spurts of wisdom
tweet, blog, digg, and stumble,
and we build a reputation,
build a nation of believers
in snippets of understanding.

So I will continue to shout,
140 characters at a time,
from the rooftops;
continue to publish 500 word essays
adding, ever so slightly,
to the digital body that records the human experience.
