If everyone stood up

Then we could not fall down

Tipped over like dominoes

In a long convoluted chain. 

Every day is a minefield

As we tip toe through the glass

Slowly bleeding to death

One drop at a time. 

The curve of the future

Turns sharply down

Diminishing you

And destroying me.   

Overly engineered

And poorly planned

A world unhinged

And spiraling downwards fast.

Everything we do

Is poured out

And wasted

As water becomes dust

And blood becomes sand.  

There is no way out

Except to sink or climb

As we pump our legs up a mountain

Steep and mighty. 

The past is a memory

Information in a file

Stored inside our brains

And determining who we are. 

But there is something more

An invisible secret

Hidden in our genes

Determined in advance

Before we ever knew.

They search for us

But we don’t know ourselves

Educated to be blind

And taught to be dumb.
