Meandering
We wander through the maze of life
Blind to all there is to see
Lapping up the surface dirt
Sinking into obscurity...
Delving never to find a creed.
We are but insects scurrying beneath the sun,
That giant flashlight being held by Infinity.
What amount of Future Shock
can spur our senses
to their full intensities and
quench them with Fulfillment?
Why do we wait
for Tomorrow
instead of
waiting not Today?
What will it take
for our hearts to
Spill their contents without
Fear of Rejection?
What will it take for us
to Listen,
without flashing
signs.. of.. Dejection?
SCOFF THOSE WHO SCORN
YOUR LOVE OF BEING!
For it is THEY, who are not
SEEING.
