The trend will depend
on the size/place of the window opened

like a roller coaster
sometimes higher

but also down
yet I sense no frown

because everyone knows
highs come with lows

trend there is none
truth old as the sun

poetic license
don't light an incense

Yeah and?
Do you perceive this trend as a good thing?

It's strange how the whole trend-thing works. I see trends as memes coming into existence in the minds of few and then getting the right amount of exposure followed by its spread in the global community. Usually it's "good" memes that multiply in a population but the way this happens is not random but also devoid of an control mechanism. Do you think that trends can be controlled in a meaningful way so that we may own as ours or are trends more viral in nature - spreading among the population without any direction or rationale?

No.. What is wrong with non-existence? Why does a way of life need to be perpetuated? Does it always go back to how parents/progenitors of the culture "feel" about seeing others follow a way of life?

The trend in this case is to create people.
