Sleepwalking
World; walking thorough
Darkness all around
Full view - sun
Lost; craving something sound
Sleepwalking through this life
Awake but cannot see
The forest blocks the view
Tragedy; we can’t see the trees
Excessive preoccupation
Held captive; fixated by our mind
Views confabulated
Perception; you think everything’s fine
Conundrum - you don’t really care
Knowledge - no need to really know
Content - satisfied with your opinion
Doomed - emotions run the show
Reality; we create
Truths available – yet we not hear
Confined - living in our world
Complacent; humanities indifference; slowly, we disappear
