Societal Tendencies
Word paint this uncanny illusion,
fluid in state of mass confusion
Product line of numb minded sheep,
in fear of difference,
holding doubt in reverence.
Minds and feet now anchored deep,
having slid the slippery slope steep
unto worn road of indifference.
Like sweeping sand with
silicon grains seen as dunes
in desolation deserts
one and few dare dream
molding disparate unique
specks in wondrous betterment
