Reality
We've become so numb to
everything around us
We see four wall
Windows and doors.
We hear phones
And conversations
We watch the clock
Like it's the only thing in the
world
The sun rises and sets
Without a thought in mind
Cars always moving
Always in a rush or having
places to go
Picking up pens or pencils
Write on papers, tape and
kiosks.
Always moving around
Always having places to go
Things to do
People to see
We've become so numb to
everything around us
The trees that move in place
Slowly wilting away
The fields that flourish
Slowly becoming scarce
The plants
Slowly being chemically grown
The animals
Slowly becoming extinct for our
nourishment
The air
Slowly becoming unbreathable
Take a second and stop
Watch and see that everything
is rushed
Everything that is claimed
important.
Look around and see what
we've become so numb too,
There is no love when things
Have little to no meaning to
those
Who take everything for
granted,
Or refuse to see the other side
Of the beauty that is now
destroyed.
In time it'll be seen
When put into place.
Seen in perspective of the few
who care.
When people get slapped in the
face
Like reality showing its true
colors to something more
important.
They'll finally see
What we had was a blessing,
Wishing and praying for it back
After its taken away from us
Yet knowing it's lost forever.
Watching as humanity becomes
on the brink of extinction,
Like everything that was left to
parish before us.
With the lack of attention to
anything living,
And passion for technology and
toys.
When we have nothing left and
nothing to show for
But the memory of what was
And what it could've been.
Then, maybe just maybe
Everyone will see.
Just how true it is when
someone says,
We've become so numb to
everything around us.
