“Are you recording this?”
“Yes.”
“Good, very good”

“Let’s get started then. Are you a...

So why do we continue to allow ourselves and the ground we walk on to be misused 

Mostly plain old stubborn ignorance and selfishness, but for...

But they’re the same person they’re not a ghost,

It calls me, communicates.

Whether we are billions, trillions or

Better safe than sorry?
Fallacy.
I say, better sorry than safe.
Even if brought, calamity.
Safe never dreams.
Safe never changes.
Safe found no new thing, new places,
a new people's strangeness.

which starts...

where all the nosey eyes peer
willing to take photos with their little phone cameras

Venture through my mind
There, you will find
Me alone in my own home,
All on my own
Venture through my mind,
Never left behind
Come with me;
Follow my footsteps to the unknown 

Come with me
Come with me
Come with me

What you called living in the moment, being carefree was you being impulsive and careless

And no decision has ever come off well when you have been too spontaneously reckless about it

To even feel my own emotion
Let alone find the heart
