Oblivious One

oblivious

we are oblivious to it all, the death, the lies, the cries of nature and spirits among mankind, powerful sweet repose we will regret our oblivious nature when the bill comes due and we pay dearly with our lives for our folly and blind mentality…

denial of truth, science, and the corruption of faith WE climb into our ivory towers and join our tribes of national identity or truth and humanity and throw stones and sticks or pull semi-automatics to prove one is bigger than the other a measuring match... 

still, just a primitive primate screaming in the room of technology we are oblivious to our own reek of insanity, industry, or denial of facts over fiction we are oblivious to it all, the death, the lies, the cries of nature and spirits among mankind, in powerful sweet repose we lie... 

here upon the stone inscribed the words of humanities demise the epitaph of DOOM, here we lie in oblivion because we were afraid to love oneself or one another WE were oblivious 

to all…
