Description
we are freeto wander around
the walls and fences
inside
the perimeter
boundary
which keeps us
safe
and our minds
captivated
with the flicker
of moving image
with feet
of 16mm
now enclosed
in new shoes
of far lesser quality
than the previous pair
we can not stand
in the way of progress
even if it does mean
that things are getting worse
progressions move
from bad to worse
yet still we look forward

progress will, in time
tear down our cities and plant trees
who knows where we will be then?

that is like asking me if i noticed that speck of dust that landed on my head today
meanwhile we are all components of a virus
and trees are components of a different one

No, that's not the same. This comes from a few individuals who have enough charisma to start the thing.

charisma leads to a career in the media
and people are inspired to be fans of celebrity
meanwhile.... reality goes to ruin
