From the alarm
to Instagram,
FB,
TikTok
and beyond…

The external world is screaming:
Watch me!
Follow me!
I’ll show you where you belong!

We’ve been led, by the piper, into 'other' consciousness --

Happily, we submit to its authority
Because this world is too much.

We stuff every gap,
every silence
with ******-fanatic thoughts, slap!
Running further from our true selves --

How did we get swallowed up
in this chasm of chants;
That said we are not enough?

It’s time to do something revolutionary!
It’s time to sit in silence;
Befriend the bewildering quietness,
And accept with loving kindness.
