we have lost touch with what matters,
opting instead for the cheap thrills,
instant gratification at entertainment's mercy,
constantly seeking the next digital narcotic.

life has transformed from a survival game,
to one where we battle against boredom,
seeking to fill every second of our lives
with a dizzying array of stupefying stimuli.

so few now practice introspective thought,
that which provides self awareness and humility.
meditation, even at its most basic, is withering,
and with it our sense of global unity.

how can we understand the world,
when we barely understand ourselves?
how can we begin to talk to others,
when we've yet to talk to ourselves?
