Balancing the New World Order

Balancing the New World Order

A Poem by Amanda Turner
"

On A Slippery Slope

"

Are you plugged in?

 

Getting turned on by tuning out and Hiding where the fantasy lives.

 

Personalizing your box-

                    A cellular symphony-ringing in your ears,

                          With thoughts left unanswered-

                               like voicemail and emails stuck in the junk box.

 

Is the apathy appealing?

 

Faceless strangers, fictitious friends -

      finding family that’ll you’ll never see.

Liking this, disliking that; all under the veil of autonomy.

 

Really?

That’s appealing?

 

Yet, some prefer to live out loud.

 

Like the ones who make the news-building the sites,

         occupying your mind-

                                 and time.

Just Run.

      Jump-

Laugh, dance,

Listen, Feel and learn.

 

Know it by doing it, and then when you speak-

       You’ll speak from wisdom.

                           Funny if you listen... 

The less the world hates.

 

So don’t hide.

Push the hair back from your eyes-

 And smile,

               Let the world see your face-

 

There’s beauty left on that page.
