Just Navigating

Where do you want to be,
Right here right now, today,
What do you choose to see,
Are you afraid to say,
When will you take the chance,
To take your bow, dance,
Among with the wannabe’s
Or the unjust who seek peace
Maybe to the lost and found,
Where nothingness abounds,
Go to find billionaires,
Floating with millionaires
In cyber space,
Want to begin the race
Buy away boredom,
Confused is this freedom,
Do you envy this,
To be hers or his,
What, might just as well,
Go to hell,
Re-adjust your chains,
Let go of all the pain,
Find what you need to do,
Does that mean poor,
Poor of what, finance
Spirit or soul,
Are you of many,or few,
Who lay on the floor,
And suffer not knowing why
Trying to sleep but cry,
Find the celestial sky,
For you must do or die,
Try not to be a part
Of either,
Both poles are far apart
Of longing to be,
Afraid to seek or see.

So many wonderful lines, what stood out to me is 'Maybe to the lost and found, Where nothingness abounds,' when we have the courage to really see, then transformation can begin~
