Manipulation of the Mind

Time has split in two, a chasm so wide, Connecting what once was, no longer applied. What once was close, now seems so far, The war has left us with permanent scars. The scale of man's relationship with the world, Has shifted, as new realities unfurled. What once consumed us whole, now seems remote, Politics and history now govern our vote. We must view reality from a distance, Not caught up in events, but with resistance. To see with clarity and sober thought, In the thick of the flow, the truth is sought. For time may split, and worlds may change, But our perception can still be arranged. To understand what was and what will be, Critical distance is the key. March 21, 2023
