Fragile

What is life's meaning? What is the purpose in life? I'm afraid humanities insatiable appetite for answers Is creating existential angst in our lives A brain hardwired on the savannas Full of fear and aggression has become wise This is the true devil in the workshop It has nothing to do with an idle mind In fact, an idle mind has time to contemplate Time to gain perspective and unwind The trouble is the burden of awareness We are responsible - and aware of our impermanence - we all die Those who use reason and logic Pay a huge sacrificial price Their ability and to stay calm in the moment Is view by the masses as a cold - uncaring devise We’ll continue down this path of fragility Deflecting, distorting reality all the while We sublimate collectively Like sheep - following in complete denial An awakening is imperative We must learn to accept that which we can and can not control A commitment to do better And be dedicated to the process of letting go
