Dating and Decline of the West
Hi,
Something a little more topical this week. Stuck on the dating treadmill? Made observations on societal change?
Like the almighty Romans
It's the age of the disconnect
Ironically
While desperately searching
For its opposite.
The issue
(in my 5 years of online dating)
Is the disparity
Between reality and fantasy
Expectations are too high
Based on idealism
And the bulk and ease
Of online matches
(particularly for women and the looker).
In the increasingly rare event
Of a Union
There's a bolt for the horizon
At the first bump.
We once persevered
And in most cases
Sorted it out.
Once.
I've sometimes wondered, of course
If this isn't a middle-aged phenomenon
But I hear the twenty-somethings
Encountering the same.
Easy come
Too easy come
Is where we're at
Thus making people
Disposable.
Only the traditional
Races/cultures/religions
Are persevering
And procreating
Beyond these falsely led actualities.
I don't see it getting it better
Only morphing into something new
Something already underway
In other spheres too
The decline of the West
As it ideologically
'Exits' itself
And others.
Perhaps it's inevitable.
