The Sensationist Renaissance

Poets of the 21st century, do you realize a new millenium is upon us? Time has changed it's name, the winds blow with a fresher vibrancy, and the mediterrenean whispers new prophecies.Who has noticed? Is there anything to notice, though, really? This question must have been asked so many times before: Romans, Franks, Tuscans, Victorians, all must have pondered it.And because they have done so, look at what they where able to create! If you look well enough, one would notice that when a certain society was at it's peak, it's Art was also at it's height.Did Art make the society prosper, or did society make Art bloom? Historians may argue one way, Poets another.Both, however, would agree, that Art of any kind, can change worlds.They can endow, or destroy, unlock or bury.

How?

Is not society, and everything in it a product of, and dominated by the human mind, the human psyche? Art, especially poetry endowed as it is with the power of words, can change the way people think.Thus can it not change the way a society functions?

You, who linger pleasantly in your office chair, you who wallow drunkenly in the myre of your feasts, and you who celebrate the morning after...you will tell me "Why should society change?" You ask this, for you know nothing of what man's true purpose is, what his true heart is.You don't know for you never cared to know.All the while decedance takes root.Not the decedance of morality, but the decedance of the flesh and all it shelters.It is a fact I do not claim to know what man's true purpose is, nor do I believe that Fate will ever allow us to know.But, I do know what man is! And I'm sure there are so many others like me who can see that man's true self is being shackled by the pyschological poison of a society that is anything but human.Other Artists, who express themselves through their own words and ideas, not once they were made to borrow.

There are sensations which have not been experienced for centuries, and their emptiness leaves us empty and false.Artists have the power to help the public feel these sensations, and what's more to inspire them to seek others.With these new sensations, we can feel our every feeling in every way.And to do this we first need, a new conscience.A conscience free from religious morality, free from social restrictions; we need a conscience which echoes to us with Nature's divine voice.As Artists, and Men, we need to re-establish our bonds with Nature, for we are after all, part of her kingdom.We need to follow her rules, which are simple,golden, and pure.Then we can engrave her voice in our hearts, and be free to seek ourselves, without ever harming her providence, and those of her true kin.

Thus endowed we can proceed to our true goal, the unison of our personal trinity: body,mind, and soul.Only when these three are in unison, and sharing the same desires can we truly own our bodies.Once we own our bodies (Bodies which after all have been merely loaned to us) there is no limit to what we can achieve.We can truly know our feelings and what we desire, and have the knowledge how to acquire it, we could even travel through time through our feelings: be able to keenly feel what we felt in the past, or what we would feel in the future.This could endow us with a common sense that could save lives, for as Ernesto "Che" Guevara De la Serna stated "let the world change you, before you can change the world."

Let us hope to find, in the midst of this decadence, a refuge.
Poets, extend your arms! Embrace a new reality. Seek a state in which peace of mind and reflection are not troubled by the weariness of noise, the futility of chatter. A place where the rumbling of machine and the empty laughter of television cannot harm us; A place where the night is quiet, where only slight whispers are heard; and where the day is filled with the song of birds and the calls of Nature’s children.
Only here, in this newfound haven, shall we find the strength to explore, to perceive.
It is time to escape the dark fog which keeps us cruelly at bay; let the doors be opened for those who seek sight in a world of blindness.
Life lies just beyond this cemetery of degradation, awaiting those who yearn for her light.

What does Art and Poetry have to do with this one might ask? They are so important to the human psyche that if they don't progress, neither will humanity.Art needs to reflect the needs of the time, so it's words and ideals can be reflected back to the world and thus: Alter.And this is the new Art this generation, this young millenium needs.

So far it has not surfaced in an open way, which does not mean there are no Artists who feel this need, and express it.Thus we are proposing a movement that brings together all these Artists, and which will also attract other, new, Artists to this new style.
