Society

 

Desperation

Fear, discomfort and hunger

The cold bites my bones

My children are weak

To survive, we struggle

 

Planning

Don’t think about today

Cut the lawn at the weekend

Pay more into the pension this month

Am I even alive?

 

Bliss

All needs met

No striving

Accomplishment

What is there left but the warmth of sleep?

 

Thin layers

Distract everyone lest they see

Information everywhere all the time

Think of the future

Think of your responsibilities

 

Self destruction

The honesty of rage

The complete freedom of violence

The understanding that the only time is this instant

The thunder of your own heartbeat and the taste of your own blood

 

Break at least one rule on purpose every day

See how long society can hold us

The cities, the rules, the cultures exist only to contain us

The barriers are only there as long as we believe in them

Open your eyes and walk to freedom
