Up To Me

We are virtually interconnected Yet socially disconnect to our demise Modernity rewards ignorance The ignorant condemn the wise We’re a society addicted to addictions Hungry for knowledge that’s void of proof Confirmation bias is perplexing and pervasive Paradoxically – leaving us disinterested in The Truth We are over fed yet starving for nourishment We’re uncertain full of absolutes and certainties Content - yet unhappy with our status No one can help us - only you can set you free We express our humility through patronizing arrogance We want change, but don’t want to change anything We seek perpetual self-satisfaction Only to suffer incessant pain We give the perception of fame and fortune Ironically longing for self-worth and prestige The emptiness of self-admiration Unaware – you hold your key Embody the dreams of your passions The passions will live in your dreams Life is simply all that we make it That’s it – This life – is up to me
