Craving normalcy, a life of concord
Space for reflection, time for soaking
Quotidian pleasures, as in cuddling breezes
Waves lapping on sands of innocence
Eschewing virtual lives drilled by mini gods
Cards, bills, images, floods of data, tsunamis of stats
Credit scores, debts, numbers expunging quality
Turning us numerical, digital, simulated, re-fabricated
To touch you, sans scheming, bereft of calculating
Let our hearts speak, from the cradles of our voices
Knowing no shrouds will erase, the certainty of feeling
Sentiments unadulterated, touches felt, not illusory
Shopping for food, not waxed eyesores, reflecting our faces
Haggling with humans, no tellers, no clicking registers
Laughing as we buy, them chuckling as they sell
Onions smelling such, not as Monsanto doth peddle
Ah! touches that guide ecstasies down the spine
Not down telephone or tablet lines
Eyes ‘n hearts beckon nature’s blessings, flowers unpretending
Seeing the real you, not one they mold, into a lump of nothing
Kisses begetting needed tumult, exciting hearts
Numbed by tedious messages, subliminally guzzled
Drowning us in needless muddles, when love calls
To a blissful harmony, that only truth can deliver
Shutting our ears to the noises outside
Opening our hearts to the melodies inside
So love can conquer, qualms of no import
When love prevails, mountains will yield
Let reality merge us in love, in soul, in essence
As one, blended to eternal fusion
Eternity awaits, infinity beckons, reality calls
As we meet them, head on with our beings
As they recreate our reality
Let’s build our certainty
Where Love shall reign, ‘n truth won’t deign
Let’s hold hands, walk to the open
Where freedom’s real ‘n serfdom’s frozen

Love your poem SEEK a DREAM that we all share ! Im 35 & my Fiancee ANGELA (with whom I share this site) is 31 so we will probably have to survive in this sad DATABANK Society for another 50+ Years. The whole World is dominated by electronic devices & robots ! Thanks for caring - sharing & warning !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA 💙🧡💙🧡
Thanks ~ Weve accepted you as a Friend ~ OK
Thanks for taking time to read and comment. From what I can tell, you have each other and the quality life that awaits you will more than block out the virtual reality created by the databanks. Am excited about our friendship, thanks again for accepting. Regards.
