reality



When I see
what I see
what is has seemed to me to be
reality
in its ways
changing what we think of as life
I can see
looking back
on the history of the world
the nations fall
new ones rise
was conquest or aloness the cause of there demise?
I am in wonder
as to this
I am in wonder as to why we still exist
are we so far
are we so far
to resist
what is the message
that things are better with us than with them?
how do we capture
what so many are just grasping at
born to be captive
its more than fine to be afraid
away from the campground
that we were born to populate.
