Foundation

We're too ignorant

any more

to be trusted with secrets;

nature has broken us

because we will not bend,

and here we are

reigned in

by the spirit,

captivated

by false dreams,

illusions

of our purpose;

we chase fairy tales,

exchanging reality

for lies on paper,

ignoring

the human condition,

likening

our antithesis

to our history,

escaping karma

like a bad middle name,

tossing morality away

with the truth;

we place our ear to the ground

to find a heartbeat,

to find our lost treasure,

but its all buried

under skyscrapers,

houses,

dynasties of failure;

we want to understand

but we can't;

for we have forgotten our feet

and now stand in space,

existing

without purpose.
