Peak. Peek. Pique.

Introverted Sage

Black holes.

Empty souls.

Vessels with nothing but bones to hold.

 

We have been shown

how their systems run cold.

Seeing the life

They had to behold.

Everything sold

for the promise of gold.

 

Midas repeating the Secret he told.

The jig's getting old.

Their audacity was bold.

As we begin to see

how the chips have been doled.

 

I was like you.

I so wanted it to be true.

'keeping up' was something to do.

 

Now there's more Light.

I guess so & so was right.

Spread your wings it's time to take flight.

 

Becoming the Way.

More You every day.

Real Work is nothing but play.

 

Everything they've touched.

Hasn't amounted to much.

Grasping for one last crutch.

 

Secrets to keep.

Weren't really that deep.

Big ships preparing for leaks.

 

The more You Know.

Simplicity has shown.

The charade was just a big joke.

                                   

                                                                                                                   ~Osian~

    what insightful commentary
    on this charade society, curated
    by those profiteering, by selling
    a mirage world, where segregation
    by our differences
    and devaluation
    by our bank balances, aesthetics and age
    is a propaganda, warping mindset
    every generation is indoctrinated
    to believe, as the limitations of their
    reality
    a great write! thanks for sharing dear poet
    'We have been shown
    how their systems run cold.
    Seeing the life
    They had to behold.
    Everything sold
    for the promise of gold.'
