Stumble into the outside world. Greeted by the light. Humanity at it's best. Shrouded in dark. People at their worst. Eyes wide open. Solace in masks and avoidance of crowds. Others blinded by ignorance and lies. Twisted, Ugly, spitting the disease. Branches winding out, reaching for the sun. Whichever it shines on blooms. Growing, gaining weight. Enveloping. Seducing. Truth elusive. Venom on the lips of the greedy. People trapped in husks of oblivion. Earth rejecting it's parasites. Shedding them like dead skin. Lifeless and useless. Aborted like so many in time. Coughing and wheezing. Choking on dictators. Bleeding their empathy. Predators making war. Raping the innocent. Disposable lives. Puking up lies like poetry lines. The weak guzzling it down in record time. Wilting from the lack of sustenance. Lack of substance. In itself, a punishment. Blisters of decadence in the west. War in the east. Refugees fleeing. To a better place. Does it exist? Sign of the times. Blind leading the blind. The wicked are winning. For only so long. For they are extinguishable as well. Their time will come in time. Overdue.

Born into this. Thrust into this cradle. Kicking and screaming. Maybe consoled by out Mother's arms, others not so. We're nourished with our parent's beliefs. Maybe what they've learned. Or what they didn't. Foundation of love and trust, or not. Some have cradles of gold, others of filth. Luck of the draw? You live what you learn. You make up your laws. As you go along. Green path. Cold pavement. Sunshine lights the way. Warming our hearts...our souls? Who the fuck really knows...the answers? For what it's worth...does it really matter? Thought plagues monkeys who can drive a car. Winter's teeth. Cutting into our bones. Cold road. Freezing our blood. Winding through nerves. Spiking awareness. Shooting pain throughout. Icy razors cutting deep. Into anxiety. Into depression. Winding along our own paths. Telling our own stories. Cutting along the way. Getting cut in turn. Life is a blessing, life is a curse. Earth our cradles, earth our tombs. Where we rot, the flower blooms.

Log in, tune out from reality. Down the rabbit hole we go. Blue light beckons. Dark web, entangled in lies, entombed lives. Sarcophagus veil, blue glare, light up gray faces. Glued to screens. Hunched over, necks craned. Zombie fix. Bend wills, melt minds. People glued to screens. Barely living beings. Information highway. Ruined by shit, deluded by lies. People isolated by social networks that distort women's body views and spread hate, divides society into left and right. Right and wrong.
