A recitation of unholy alliances

Recent emulsifications have taught us nothing
when it comes to our ability
to see that world exist outside our own.
The tiny fraction of lords and ladies
triumph their wills over the rest of the loving, living souls
who see more than animal pleasure and material goods to be had.
The surface is thinner and thinner
and the depths grown shallow,
while the remainder drown in their defiance,
pushed in by the worst delusions
and pathetic childlike bits of humanity,
distracted and stimulated beyond belief,
knowing only external sources of anything,
while internal ones lay unused,
desperate to be engaged.
Take me away,
take me away from these sad,
soulless excuse for people,
and render me among those who see more,
feel more,
create more,
love more,
connect more,
explore more,
respect more,
understand more,
embrace more,
LIVE more.
Let me find that people –
genuine people –
still exist
and let us be free together.
