There is a danger in becoming automated
It’s like we’ve become sedated
Power misplaced and egos inflated
Out of the box thinking has become berated
Our linear thinking has become outdated
And most certainly jaded
Our souls and spirits like a frog in boliling water
Slowly bifurcated
Our critical thinking truncated
The move towards mass consumer culture..
Carefully curated
and scientifically and economically titrated
Living separate lives in communities gated
A push towards individualism is heavily weighted
the need for new thinking can’t be more strongly stated
As more and more people become heavily medicated
Our consideration of others has become so very jaded
All for the hopes of one day..becoming upgraded
But WTF….look what we have traded!
As a culture we have become dangerously bifurcated
We say we will live longer…but continuing in this way ill fated
I’d say we will most likely live a life truncated
Unless we quickly get ourselves from our habits extricated
this is a topic so heavily weighted
I feel at times like I speak in a language x-rated
I am very clear about my opinions especially when baited
People consider me old fashioned and very out dated
On this thin ice for 50 years we have skated
Why from our souls have we vacated
Believing that things outside of us -the things we have created
We are not getting happier but rather more frustrated
As We cannot buy satisfaction
Material success has become over rated
We’ve traded real happiness for something gold plated
Some say this is a plot-highly orchestrated
This external focus -carefully curated
Our needs have become wants and wants have become needs
Something got lost in translation. It was mis annotated.
In my naive thinking …it seems not so complicated
To get back to the essentials.
But we must be together motivated
In many languages ideas to be translated
True connection can be re-activated
Passion and love must not be titrated!
But rather embraced and not medicated
Let’s celebrate a goal met even belated
And
Live a life where we don’t feel graded
Where our systems are alive and yet not over activated
Where we can rejoice together and feel elated
No matter where in the world we are physically located
