The Irony of Life

Submitted by Spanki on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 5:54pm

To live your life,

you're meant
to follow along.

Don't forget: never begin
acting on your curiosity.

For you are just
listening to your insanity.

Never stop,
following the crowd.

It's okay if you're not
heading in the direction you want,

Just go along.

**now read it backwards**
"just go along, heading in the direction you want.."

Haha, I love this.
But could someone explain to me how this is "ironic"?

cheers Says:

dude it is ironic because the first time you read it, it is an obvious read about brainwash, corruption and how society surpreses creativity and wants you to follow the crowd. then when you read from the bottom up it advocates self expression and individuality. this is a super dope piece in all, really dig it. cheers.

Not so much irony, which is when you something you didn't expect to happen, happens. This is just a double sided poem about our social structure

This was utterly beautiful. When I read it, it made me sad, and then I read it backwards and it gave me the best kind of feeling. It was just like life, at first things may look down, and sometimes you just have to look at things differently(like read it backwards). I love your outlook on life and I love this.

This highdea has been flying under the radar far too long. Time to make it seen.

haha, I just helped guide people in the right direction, and the highdea than took care of itself. This is well on its way to the top 5, which is awesome because its been a while since there was a great highdea in the top 5.
