You Are Everything

Greeting cards
Movies
Pop songs
Helping to detach us as we go along
Twitter
YouTube
Facebook
Pretending we look like we don’t look
BBC
CNN
Fox news
Shaping and creating our views
Valium
Codeine
Prozac
Numbing and separating us from the fact
Of whom we are really
Of what we are really
Of how we are really
You might get it but only nearly
Jesus
Muhammad
Buddha
Taking your divinity and giving it to another
2 kids 
Detached house 
Shiny car
A dream you never dreamt should be bizarre
Teachers and preachers
Kings and queens
Government officials
They’re all just Slave masters keeping you in shackles
Infinite space connecting
Infinite change moving
Infinite stars shining
Did they mention you should know you are everything?
