Do you vide what I vide?

Fri, 03/20/2015 - 16:45 -- Aladolf
Before you lies society,
 
With nature crying in dismay.
 
Yet no one acknowledges it,
 
Because they are happy with artificial –today.
 
But nature screams not quietly.
 
 
Life was once satisfactory,
 
Natural and artificial were in balance together.
 
But know, the possessed has overpowered the earth.
 
Who knows if birds even have real feathers?
 
For everything is made in a factory.
 
 
Before you lies technology,
 
Damaging the skies, land and aquatics,
 
Putative harmless things to the user,
 
Until the user is replaced by robotics.
 
Then there’s a different philosophy.  
 
 
Individuals are running around,
 
Dancing throughout this fire.
 
Some scramble to find the water of employment,
 
But here, management doesn’t hire.
 
No, not in this town.
 
 
And it is quite ironic,
 
That humans are afraid.
 
We asked for it and edged it on,
 
Now we must lay in the bed we made,
 
And listen to the distant Sonics. 
 
 
Before you lies the people,
 
The creators of such things.
 
Suffocated by the pollution,
 
And waiting for employment to ring.
 
Veins pop from their pupils.
 
 
How sad its non- fiction,
 
Every second we sink a fleet,
 
We consume suicidal substances,
 
We juggle our rabbits feet.
 
Yet, we create no warmth with all the friction.
 
 
Before you lies life,
 
A term from behind death hides,
 
So now my question is,
 
Do you vide what I vide?
 
Before you, lies life.
