Culture of Resistance

Trapped

Trapped within silly egos
in stylized masks
living a death
in our own stupid past

With paged words
and caged memories
reality conforming
to personalized fantasies

Untravelled paths
of insightful observations
languish amidst a myriad
of mundane concentrations

Simple truths lie ambushed
helplessly, in silence
conspired against
by a world of violence

Honesty's useful reflection
is quickly left unspoken
fearing that self's importance
might easily be broken

Earthly responsibility await
woefully unrecognized
while humanity race
to successfully economize

With hardly a space
on thought's imaginary island
compassion's an alien emotion
on some future plan

Love, an exciting game
to be fought and won
possession and dominance
considered part of the fun

Animalistic traits
with a survival force
impair the intelligence
of a cosmic source

Forever preoccupied
from experiencing the present
egos afraid to die
to live a free moment
