Another of the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Green as a writing prompt.
Law 39: Stir Up Waters to Catch Fish
#mylifematters
I was going to go with
#thislifematters
but #this was too impersonal
too ambiguous
it wasn’t the fact of life that matters
but that my life in particular matters
what am I trying to do
co-opt a bigger more important movement
coattail on the buzz
it has built
capitalize on their suffering & hard work
just to gain some pitiful attention
am I hoping to create controversy
with this spin
on an already over spun trend
with some snide spin of my own
because I think #myspinmatters
when its clear that it doesn’t
mean shit to a tree
I’m just another privileged guy
whose life
whose opinion
doesn’t matter
who doesn’t have a hope in hell
of stirring up anything
outside of his own little pond
so I guess
until I have something profound to say
and the money to back it up
#mylifedoesn’tmatter
Like my pictures? I post lots on Tumblr
