how can we be peace
in a world intent on noise,
a world that leaves us
so hungry for distraction
this chaos becomes real;
how will we know reality,
how will we find calm
amongst these waves;
have we accepted
this new existence
of constant motion
as our preferred reality;
do we remember
what we are missing -
if we did,
would we care -
where is the heart,
what is left of our soul,
are we bankrupted;
have we sacrificed our lives
beyond the noise
to empty distraction
