invocation

Description

Invocation is the grand event of hoisting repressed consciousness from oblivion and brandishing attention or emotion with enthusiasm that may as well be insincere. Genuine comprehension or change comes second; so long as fervent words stir the crowd, all is deemed well. Participants rarely acknowledge that they are merely circling the same question ad nauseam. In the end, it is nothing but a tool for imposing one’s will on others to claim a trophy of self-satisfaction.

Definitions

• The act of dragging emotions like anxiety or anticipation from behind the chains of reason.
• A performance that scatters drama rather than truth to gather the masses’ gaze.
• An overwriting of inner silence with noise, handing out counterfeit euphoria at a ceremony.
• A choir that loudly sings the anthem of self-satisfaction rather than sparking genuine change.
• A gas bomb that creates confusion, preferring smokescreens over forging the fire of debate.
