Carbon Dust

Syd

 

With Armstrongs boots
And Lennons mind
We could break free of captivity 
Leave our bodies behind

 

Looking in from the outside
With a refreshed perspective 
Analysing independently
Breaking free of the collective 


 
Forgetting what our grey matter
Is conditioned 
And concerned about

 

Remembering
Realising and Identifying
The false wealth 
We can live without 

 

Unlearn the toxic vision
Shared by the corporate classes
Time and love is wealth 
Educate the masses 

 

So called precious minerals
Fuelled by want and lust 
Only blind fools yearn
For compressed carbon dust

    Or shiny coal? I lost the plot. I put a friend's diamonds on me fire instead of coal, cos I had run out of coal. Couldn't see the harm in it, until me friend returned! lol.

      Forgetting what our grey matter
      Is conditioned
      And concerned about

      Humankind is broken.
      😪

      Yet there could be hope?

      Unlearn the toxic vision

      Words like these may unteach us 🤗

        Hopefully. I'm probably as guilty as the rest of us but at least my eyes are open.

        Thank you for reading and leaving feed back. It's been a while since I've posted on this site.

        Take care - Syd
