Sir, you better take a look at this.
Chapter 1: Flip the Script: Apocalyptic and the Lyricism of Protest
Apocalyptic. It isn't what we think it is. It shows us what we're not seeing. It can't be composed or spoken by the powers that be, because they are the sustainers of "the way things are" whose operation justifies itself by crowning itself as "the way things ought to be" and whose greatest virtue is in being "realistic." Thinking through what we mean when we say "realistic" is where apocalyptic begins. If the powers that be are the boot which, to borrow Orwell's phrase, presses down upon the human face forever, apocalyptic is the speech of that human face. Apocalyptic denies, in spite of all the appearances to the contrary, the "forever" part.
