This thing we so lavish
had me thinking,
I was connecting the dots,
the world seemed to be in the palm of my hands
yet a million light years away.
I was but part of an audience
so sheepish.
Too afraid to take a step towards falling in love with purpose
and into place.
I thought a slow pace
in the race
was going to be okay
but unconciously I had sought and brought out a beast.
it had been caged too long.
when she finally awoke, she raged.
She reminds me continuously
that the world truly
seems to be always in the palm of my hands.
And I am such a fool
to misuse such a tool.
I am always glancing through this thing we so lavish,
a window to freedom
yet also a mirror of my misery
and cold reality.
I was but fetching more false hopes of a better life
one seen through this innovation that connected me to the rest of the world
but disconnected me from my world.
I guess Einstein's prediction about information
is coming to light.
