Pretending (my first poem)

in poetry •  8 years ago 

In a world where reality itself is manipulated, misused and mis-created
We as one have become the same
We, the architects of reality, are wrongly related, confused and not concentrated
Yet we thrive for existence in the fast lane
Instead of harmoniously coexisting with ours and the world's brain
We have lost our humbleness to admit our lack of knowledge
Now we just pretend to know
We have ignored our essence and emotions and put them into storage
Now we just pretend to grow
The word "social" lost its meaning and became intangible
Unimaginable is the absence of courage
Because now we just pretend to show
And now in whirlpools of thought and feelings
I plead not to lose sight
I feel there is still something missing
I pray I'm right on time in order to find
The last pieces of this intricate puzzle that is my mind
To myself I ask : " what can I create to shift the paradigm?"
hoping that God will grant me the signs and time...
To contribute to the salvation of this beautiful home and family of mine

'What can I create to shift the paradigm?' I've probably asked myself the same question a million times. You pulled me in from the very first line, very well written. Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much!
