doing what is known.
Pretty simple:
why can't we seem to get it?
New Reality
Must we leave
this "reality"
we have called home
until now?
Must we chase
new experiences
upon new worlds
far out in space,
hoping they'll be
bursting with life,
in pristine conditions?
Should we hope someday
to walk unsullied wilderness,
without borders,
without boundaries,
no longer chained to the grind,
no slaves of death?
Or,
would it be simpler
to change the way we perceive
our daily 'reality?
To superimpose
our hopes and dreams
on the facade
of a strip mall?
