Realization 5

Everyday, in fact every moment ,
so much of nonsense
is being gulped down .
News, views , reviews ;
just like a handful of salted cashew-nuts ,
are being munched indiscriminately .

Our thought process has stopped thinking for ourselves ,
as it has become by and large a big-shopper,
so tightly knit,
air-tight .
Nothing flows out of the marsh-mind,
and I wonder at times,
'has the word evacuation died ? ' ,
'Is there no other adjective alive,
other than the one called 'cached' ? '

My ruminating conscience tends to regain the
strength of its baritone in these moments ;
A rumbling cliche reverberates -
'When act of forgetting can't save,
perhaps an act of unlearning may !'

My favorite part:

Your words are yet a mystery....I read this three times over, and each time I read it, I walk away with a different meaning. Complex, almost too complex to read late at night with a tired moooshy mind. lol Great poem.

Thinking is not passive and passive is easy until you have to face the consequences of being passive. Great one.

i think life is becoming cliche...i think we are becoming a society of watchers, absorbers, not doers, or thinkers.

reminds me of nick in the Big Chill..saying "sometimes you just have to let art flow right over you"

our minds like caches...just get overinformation we just can't assimilate...or don't bother trying to.

We are in a nonplussed era, isn't it?

A thoughtful poetry.
It is very nice to make some lines throughout general life.
Love this one dear.

They have bred and programmed us to fall into dysfunctional gridlock..void of linear logic..we have a double mind and consume their suspended disbelief with vigor.
Enjoyed this my friend.
