Unplug Your Loathing (remove first the beam)


Introvert?  Extravert? No matter.

Happiness is not electronic isolation

No one sees you?  Be fair, you're blind too

Masses of people blind to themselves

Singular souls with eyes for machines

Our brains are plugged into electronic sustenance

Too much input designed to incite

Our food diluted, pointless, drivel

Procrastination caused by caring

Media's fights to impress fill us with emptiness

Crippled dreams, conquered schemes, man at his worst.  Superficiality, promotes greed

 

To watch, to read; to listen, to speak?

To drill holes through our eye sockets and drain out our brains?

Think man!  So what if it isn't cool?

Wrap your brain around budding concepts

Easy access to half truths destroy

Old stories are boring? they don't relate to today?

A pox on thee!  Base instincts remain!

Interior and Ulterior

'Hey look at me!' showmanism

Motives remain, desires are the same, can't you see?

Ignorance breeds laughter, yet we promote misinformation as a God

 

Challenge the cacophonous chatter

Concepts crucial to comprehend are of consequence!

Chittering on about contingents

Topics containing no importance

Contesting tiny mendacities

These have no place in obtaining your tranquility

By growing, gaining greatness of thought

You will find where tranquility's wrought,

and in so doing find happiness.

For attainments come amongst finding mental ardor

in the place beyond your electronic 'paradise' where thought breeds action.

 

I forsake external mind numbing!

Deny worldly claims regarding filling desires! 

When I forsake films and embrace choice,

I find that joy is tingeing my voice.

For joy lies not in getting your way,

joy lies in finding the positive side in each day.

It starts as a peace, filling your heart.

Growing

Crawling

Creeping

Tingling

Flowing

Shaping

Habit forming

Guiding

Relieving

Glorious

PEACE!

Give ‘boring’ education a try.

Utilize it to reach the sky!

Let go of pain far away you cannot go to aid.

Lift where you stand, find success, until the day you’ve become strong enough to help.
