Lagging

We got this home as is It came with the waves, the forests, waterfalls, sand dunes, the ice. We claimed it, Without thinking twice We have conquered the land The sea, the air We have astounding devices That your voice can travel through Your face can travel through And given a few hours We could be on the other side of the world If we choose We have holograms For entertainment And it’s growing Because we’ve planned it And our art is amongst the Most aesthetic of all the planets We are extremely creative With emotions which overwhelm And we’re one of the most innovative species On this side of the realm But we are hungry. Some are hungry for food Yet we’ve cultivated enough for all Some are hungry for love But that’s what they’re made from Others are hungry for money For power Hungry for war For all things that Cannot cross the veil with them And constantly hungry for more, Sad that this is the world That we are occupying right now That war still exists and needs to be Materialistically Profitable somehow I Me Mine Myself Egotism laced with vanity How are we so far ahead In technology But so far behind In humanity

If I could put you in a frame I'd draw you smiling If I could, if I could wear all your clothes I'd still be different And if I had your speaking voice I'd never whisper I'd talk and talk and talk We will be winners Our heads glued together And all is indefinite in you
