live the life you can

a work in progress

We need to change.

our world is for the deranged

life like this makes no sense

we are all happily ignorant.

 

We live by watching others on tv.

We survive reading others opinions on a lcd screen.

we watch active people do what they love

while we waste away and give up.

 

Our world has gone far enough,

but where will it stop.

we understand ourselves

but not nearly enough

 

technology advances exponentially

but not our understanding of when it's too much

our want for the newest stuff

is a desire that is too tough to ignore

we need to back away and adore the simple things.

 

We are losing our feel for the outdoors

we are advancing to the point of wooshing doors

and virtual wars.

Fought by machines on distant shores.

 

We are disconnected

but we will be affected.

Virtual reality is becoming a necessity

That woeful mother of invention.

Once it is here, how do we live?

everything we ever wanted will be ours.

 

Our world will be reduced to nothing,

We are almost there.

take your choice, getting everything you ever wanted

To live, and know fear.

 

life without fear isnt possible.

Being happy without being sad.

Im glad i got to live the life i had.

I ust hope my children will be proud of their dad.

Not saying no because i cant, but because it isnt right.

Live the life you can,

dont let it go without a fight.

Author's Note

based off of an idea that once virtual reality is publicly available, then we wont live life anymore

Review for Change the World Comp,

Some excellent lines and alot of true observations. I do not feel YOUR voice here though, what does this mean to you? The subjects you have written about are writtena bout everyday but woven with personal relectiveness. You have the ability, clearly, to take this deeper. Good work
