Lost in the world


Dinosaurs roaming the earth to feast on their next prey,

Capitalist determining who to cut from their company for their own personal gain,

Natives from Iowa go out shooting ducks to bring home for stew,

African Tribal music heard through the centuries,

The Eiffel Tower has never looked so beautiful in a full moon,

Monks sensing the world around them in the mountains of China.

 

It is never overwhelming to be lost in the world,

but it is terrifying to be lost in your own mind.
