business as usual

skyrises and myopia
channel the fear into every drop of media
we eat from plates of despair
ask not what you can do for your country
but what you can turn a blind eye to
and on the world spins
out of circles into chaos
and mother earth
purifies herself
while we tend to meaningless pursuits
and idle chatter
celebrity gossip and sports
except for the few
a growing number
in the know
of the great potential
beyond our system's collapse
but for the majority
silence will never fall
and become space for true reflection
business as usual is costly
the most ignorant path..
