What is our purpose? How do we add to the world?
How do we get off our phones and romanticize life?
Life is much better when you’re lost in a book
While a candle is lit and sounds of nature fill your ears--
How do we make the highways slow down
& absorb the nature they run passed at 80mph
Oh how I wish for these buildings to stop reaching up for the sun
I want us all to stop together
Right in our tracks and look around
I want the realization, the waking up from technology
To come to all, all at once.
No getting to that meeting is not more important
No paying this bill and that bill isn’t more important
Make these walls fall. Seek out nature and build anew.
Make homes from wood, roofs of moss, and love thy neighbor
Beautiful villages would sprawl out, we would only take what we need
Yet we run around letting technology and rules wrap around our minds
No time to think for ourselves.
