Civilizationism

CIVILIZATIONISM

existential syncopation
with no coercion of time
a harmonious melody
detuning

dancing in the dark
mental evolution
new steps
don't fit in

we assume we make our own existence
ignorant of natures pleading insistence
recalibrating finely balanced scales
treat the earth like it's on sale

everyone is smiling
staring at  T.V.
blind of 
the windows

no seat belts
on a one way ticket
the REAL worlds fair
abusement park

there are no echos in the universe
