how about you ?
our eyes are not veiled
for we see what is transpiring
in the world about us
we are not asleep
nor are we dreaming
in some context this is all real
and that which we feel
the anguish
the pain
the insane
the inane
fosters our indifference
it’s plain
to see
we are not dumbed down
numbed down
nor are we the clowns
we pretend to be
for we do know
with a certainty
what lies at the end of this path
we travel
the capacity
for our audacity
our alacrity
to live in denial
will last but a little while longer
and soon we will be held
accountable
for the insurmountable
ills we have let
accumulate
and soon our children must sit
at this table
and eat the meal we have allowed
to be prepared for them
yes,
the thread of our lives
have been let
and they are unraveling
as i speak
it may take a month
a year or two
or a week
but we must gather our weaknesses
and address our messes
right after
another confession session
we must strengthen our resolve
and solve this mystery
this dis-ease
with our souls
that has us immobilized
yet entertained
with the pretty lights of things
that has inebriated our senses
senseless
we must over come this
viral mind infection
that refrains us from action
for i can’t nor you
get no satisfaction
upon this road
it is never ending
always bending
changing the looks
and the rules
along the way
in the fray
we will die
this will be our resolve
in an semi ultimate expression
for we are half way there
but what of our offspring
will they spring from the abyss
that which we called forth
where their light is swallowed
before it can be
sanctioned to function
with any reasonable effect
i detect a need
i suspect i can
yes
i elect
to move
from where i am now
for it is not working for me
how about you ?
