A Call To Awareness - [POEM]

Things are a little fucked

Right now,

Things are looking a bit pear-shaped

Right now,

The universe is saying,

“Pull your finger,

Out of your ass,

Man,”

And everyone in the world’s

Saying, “I only care

About me

And what happens

To me.”

Me won’t matter

And neither will I

If the world should fall

To irreparable shit

It’s heading there

It’s been plotting this course

For quite some time

But we’ve all been too busy

Too self-involved,

Too self-absorbed

Thumbing through our newsfeeds

Forgetting about it

At this rate,

This descending, dropping,

Falling,

Pace

We can forget about

Forgetting about anything

Because there might not be

Anything left

To remember
