Life As I See It

What are we doing? Shutting off the world like a switch! Becoming faceless, tasteless, hopeless? We cloud our minds with different kinds of topics. From TV shows to cell phone woes, which celebrity is cheating, and the wife already knows! We close our ears and cover our eyes, to the truth, as we choose our lies. Humans are dying and no one cares, Lest the human was wealthy and left some heirs. Forced to live in fear? Or, did we choose it? Are we fighting for our freedom or fighting to lose it? Surrendering ourselves more and more each day, to GREED, (we call it NEED), and ignorance. We create our bliss, oasis, paradise, and we are okay. Always still, judging others, pointing fingers, keeping tabs, and taking notes. BLAMING! BLAMING! BLAMING! Anyone but ourselves!! Drugging our children, new disease, Amazing Cure-All! For What? What is right? What is left? Sadness, heartache, pain, isolation... Just like we planned. We give our souls to those who intend to break us. They want to take us and make us into clones, Turn us to stone, steal our uniqueness, and mark our bodies in the depth of our weakness. We forgot on our own that HE was here, what WE did, but still we hid, behind that promise, and continued to sin, continued to lust, to use and abuse. We made excuses and excuses for our excuses. What is left? What is right? When we look deep inside, we come to find and realize, our hearts don't lie. If we try too hard to rely on the mind, we will surely become lost and die, our souls will remain hollow... But if we learn to be patient... and...listen to our hearts, in time, our souls will follow...
