"If you want to serve the age, betray it"-Brendan Kennelly

I had finally heard the motto that made absolute sense, and this was it. It felt like finding the answer you never knew you were searching for. For me, this quote was it. Immediately after I've heard it I felt as if clouds parted in the sky and the sun shone on me.

But then I thought, I am of the new age. And all those around me in the new age, are they aware of this whole facade being put up in front of us? Are they aware of the scandals that I am aware of? Even if they were, I thought to myself, they wouldn't be willing to betray the age as I am willing.
They are too occupied with their own worlds and personal lives, unaware that their environment IS part of it.
They are too occupied with rainbows, flowers and candy filled thoughts.
And those who are aware look the other way, because it is easier than dealing with it and acknowledging that there is a problem.

The fact that we are given the illusion and impression that we have freedom of speech is only the beginning.
Well, sure you can say whatever you want but there are consequences to face. And you're too scared to risk it.

I want to serve the age, and I am ready to betray it. I am willing to go against what the previous age has decided to follow in order to bring it to better terms. But who am I? I have no control over anything, I have no influence over anyone. I am but a citizen with a secret, sad to see what has become of what once was my home, and the land that I used to be so proud of.
