Selfie Culture is Just Culture You Stupid Fucking Baby Boomer.
Indulgence

Humble is ideal
Self Pride is ideal
They both need be
B a l a n c e d
No toppiling-
Spilled milk
Online photos of yourself
Burn The WITCH
A need for the time of day
From others?
From themselves?
Ego's grow
Only when nurtured

Well Colin, as an Illustrator I like exploring how to visually explain the meanings of lines. How font size and capitalization can effect how we read and interpret the words.
The truth is, the poem is more talking about how calling 'Selfie culture' indulgent and self absorbed is stupid. Society has always had a concept of self portraits, and self photography, and how as a society we have a sick expectation that people both have self pride, but also be humble.
I do think that I need to evaluate how I use formatting from now on, and compare how the poem reads In the highly formatted version vs. the plainly written one.
Thank you for your critique!
