We’ve lost all interest
in what makes us human:
the ability to use our minds
and the thirst for knowledge.
We entertain ourselves
with mindless activities
to escape from the reality
that our thoughts run wild.
We seem so uneducated
if we get our degrees and
still can’t read a sentence
without falling asleep.
We’ve been so unconscious
to life, living vicariously
then looking back and
wondering where it went.
