-Until they realize-
(what they aren't)

----------original poetry----------

---

Gyroscopic bliss becomes traceless
Amidst the world's chaos,
Imperceptible
Crowds becoming faceless.

Skinless, nothing but cymatics—
Individuality reduced to endocrine pneumatics.

Nervine infamy,
Posse of dwarves like
A cervine infantry.

Ground-dwellers,
Sky-forgetters.
Trend-following
Line-setters,
Discriminatory
Scribe-netters
Adore fetters.

Pastel-tattoed with
Modern fallacies they
Drink neon liquor.

They have cartoon pharmaceutical sex;
"Medicine" fulfilling hollywood daydreams.

They drift apart, and even to themselves,
Become devoid of identity, lost
In the gyrating mass of
Hormones, war, and
Despair, until
They realize
What they
Aren't.

Had a feeling you were leading up to a foreboding forecast of the future. Some days it feels too familiar. Thanks for leaving us with those images. 🐓🐓

They are what they are not. The truth is devoid of bad habits - we see the reality of the bad and the good. We think of the inner state of consciousness, we forget the beginning of our journey - everything is known to those who are smart. Exellent @d-pend tip! 0.1

I really liked the rhythm of this piece. I think we tend to get lost within ourselves as a people sometimes. We get too caught up in our own constructs and frameworks and sometimes have a hard time stepping back and just perceiving reality. It's like a contact lens we forgot to take off, and now it hurts our psyche too much to rip it off. Hmm...I think I may have just got inspired for a new poem.

"Gyroscopic bliss becomes traceless
Amidst the world's chaos,"

To tell you frankly this is one of the mind-blowing intros you had @d-pend.
