humanity
The Most Tragic Irony of Today
Human connection doesn’t exist anymore. It has now become a dream.
where have our human souls gone to?
how must it so difficult to connect with
each other now?
since when have we lost our ability to live?
what do we care the most now?
who here can still experience a little bit of
their own truth?
how exhausting it must have been to try
to decipher lies;
is it a wonder? no, it’s something ordinary
that some idiots would tirelessly convince
us that there’s some beautiful meaning
hidden in it,
for all we know, it has already been
circulating around for decades,
even before we were born,
encapsulating those who are ready,
though I certainly do not believe
in the ‘chosen ones’, I believe in
divine free will…
we’ve abandoned ourselves a long time ago,
we’ve been searching for meaning and the truth,
we’ve lost our civilization the moment
we’ve invented all these modern advancements,
yes, we have superior intelligence, and such
destroys us one day at a time,
how we survive depends on our choices of
consumption–the spirit nourishment, the
senseless entertainment, the ache to be
seen and heard…
well, I do not want to be heard, I want to be
read and remembered,
I do not want my soul to forget traces of its
footprints,
I do not want to connect with the living dead,
I do not want to die knowing everything,
including God’s mystery,
I do not want to care about things that I
know for sure are superficial,
and I certainly do not worry about the
future of humanity…
because I do not feel souls anymore,
I feel death everywhere,
there’s noise, but it’s actually horrors
of silence,
there are people, but they murder each other’s
spirits until the streets are left empty.
so where’s your soul?
whom do you connect with?
how do you live everyday?
what do you care about most now?
what’s your truth?
your answers tell me you’ve already
passed on.
and so have I… regardless of my do’s
and don’t’s…
The only thing that is left for us to wonder
about, really, is how to get some good sleep.
How remarkable that is… in the most tragic
irony of today.
