Slipping Away

I can feel us slipping away Down deep into the emotional abyss Instincts that have outgrown our consciousness I say this with much remiss There was an intellectual explosion An awareness that remains a slave to the drives We have the ability to use logic and reason Yet its emotions controlling our lives We sublimate, congratulating ourselves profusely We profess dominion over this land Self righteous and arrogant "This is all part of God's plan” As tribalism runs wild The herd projects an image of strength Ironically, it's a manifestation of fear That makes them pathetically weak If you cant face what you're afraid of You’ll never find what you need Cause it's in the middle of order and chaos That lies your destiny So don't let life slip away Wake up, evolve, and grow We have a great opportunity Think deep, now let the emotions go
