True Vision
Summary
This is some of my thoughts about my American reality and how I feel about the the concept of the freedom in American.
Infinite ideas:
I keep telling myself
I need to do something important before I am dead.
Exhaustion often keeps me locked in my bed
Watching motivational videos,
Attempting to steal an idea
Making my own `bread.`
Awareness awakens and orders me to move ahead.
Drinking my tea,
Trying to understand society--
Rules and why we agree to disagree.
Are we clones who will someday feel
suffering--the truth that we are real--
Human beings who should think more about diseases
Less about the ‘dream’?
I don’t go to church but
I feel the pain in my knee when I am asked
To pray.
And to pray for what exactly?
We are swimming in this dark sea together,
Trusting in the `God` and the `Giants
We are their waiters,
And they are the clients:
Big lies, thinking that we are free.
Sorry my friend, there is no such thing, only
Silence in your own universe
As you are and remain like me
Addicted to this verse,
Surrounded by all energy.
