Calling All Abstractionists, Iconoclasts, and Plastic Clowns!

Give your deranged, your deeply symbolic, your hedonistic heaps of WTF. Don't think outside the box, but shred it to pieces, glue it back together, set it on fire, and relieve yourself into the ashes and then mail them to Mr. Rogers with a stamp dipped in lysergic acid diethylamide.

I prefer rather succint yet poignant wordcraft, but there are no rules. Peruse my page, acquaint yourself with this host before blindly stubling into this wonderland.

Be forwarned, I do give constructive critiques with soley good intent as that is what I like to recieve... that golden rule for a plutonium abomination. If we leave our fragile egos in the bathrooms of the chapels maybe we can grow as individuals and artists.

If I offend you, well piss off and go find a sense of humour (about yourself, art, and this crazy world we live in, cuz there is nothing "civil" about civilization).

Best of luck to all who enter, most importantly have fun and make one another think, feel, fear, laugh and love.

!@#$%^&* Due to the amazing caliber of entries and a generous gift from a brilliantly "coy" young poetess I have dutifully upped the bounty and added a few honourable mention slots. YALL ROCK !!!!!!!

    Nice

    I'll surely sharpen scissored razors
    to a hone
    before I bury blade in bone

      Thank you and welcome to the mayhem. Will extend time if required (if I can figure out how, probably not acquainted enough with the functions of this site yet, but screw it, will stumble on thru and I am sure enough of you good folks can guide me if need be and hopefully tolerate my fumblings)

    So does a toaster count as a sacred religious image or icon? Cause I just desecrated one.....

      only if you are the bread with failed aspirations of brioche heaven, humbled to be a lowly piece of toast burnt for an unholy breakfast LOL

    Too late:P

    Oh well! (((doh)))

    The psycho-logical knots binding us to blind behaviour
    conditioned to believe the dream is our saviour
    boxed into a psycho-logical maze of interpretation
    our perceptions fed a match-box of information
    living a lie in a concrete lullaby sweetened by temptation
    ego-accesories and meaningless sensation.
    spoon-fed trivia whilst murder builds a nation.
    Consciousness devolving only aware of its own reeflection plugged into a machine nurturing narcistic desire. Draining humanity of its civil liberty, essence and inate needs to aspire. A psycho-logical pyramid built upon false beliefs detached from natural creation worshiping gods of self preservation.

    You know, people have been filled with so much fear that they stay plugged in no- matter what. Daring not to go beyond the boundaries of man made limmitation
    controling thoughts potential and spiritual exploration. They

    Who would rather set you on fire if you spoil their view. Than rewire to awareness true.
