What We Are

So we’re sitting surrounded by four walls

With eyes on that box at the corner of the room

We’re sitting surrounded by sound waves

With minds synchronized to whatever it says

 

Robotic is what we have become

And we seem to be fine with that as long as we don’t die

 

To erase all boundaries

Of every mind and every land

To break all laws

Of every anti-human system

Now this is what we are!

 

So we’re sitting surrounded by fresh mountain air

With eyes on that sea at the bottom of our feet

We’re sitting surrounded by sound waves

With minds opened to all possibilities of whatever it might say

 

Robotic is certainly what we are not

Cause everything which we can do it certainly cannot

 

To erase all boundaries

Of every mind and every land

To break all laws

Of every anti-human system

Now this is what we are!

We ascribe much of human development to technological progress and as such, fail to comprehend that the true development of us as human beings lie not in the objects we create but the character we foster and nurture. What are we but reflections of His Divine presence and love? Never objects or products as measured/quantified and qualified by the world but by what we do for each other/ to each other and for the planet. At some point, we have to step back, take a good look and reflect on how our actions are affecting ourselves and others and how this is all fulfilling His Divine path for us - if we are following it at all. My two cents' worth…. Thanks for a thought-provoking write!

Thank you for your constructive review!

"At some point, we have to step back, take a good look and reflect..." , I agree with you as we humans are really lacking the reflection and the silence, so like you said we really need to step back and reflect to come up with results that will teach us the true essence of ourselves in this journey of life.

Thanks again!
