Notes About The Poem

Perception

Tired of all the takers always finding myself surrounded by losers. Wondering if there are any givers left in this fictional society we have built ourselves? Spending too much time reflecting on the limited sight of minds continuously immersed in dribble, gossip, humdrum activities, fanatical escapades, unnecessary violence, politics, reform, and ideology. Minds that fail to consider the foundation and that everything in their worlds is based on someone else's idea of what should, or should not be. Not realizing that society is a fantasy that has stagnated and is, in essence, a fantasy world. Not changing perspective to rise above the perceived instead complaining about the mundane. Yesterday's fiction is today's reality and tomorrow's history to be dissected, picked apart, rationalized and set aside with no real resolution, answer or insight. Maybe I am a fixer in need of fixing, or maybe that's just your perception of me.

This was a deep reflection of what is actually happening around us daily, with people seemingly only thinking about their issues and life in general. Life has so much more meaning when we consider others... This was a provocative piece.
