World Slows Down
8/6/11
Values dictate our existence
as blinders come on
when humans are focused
on what's imminently important,
capitalism has pricked us
with sleepwalking consumerism needle
having poisoned our perceptions
to believe material things
bring peace of mind,
if so, short lived
until next acquisition occurs
forever marching to drummer
of hardhearted puppet master
no one need follow,
we awaken when sharing
life experiences with friends,
family, lovers who exhilarate
and exalt personal connections
from activated emotions, mind,
soul, to appreciate miracles
inundating daily magical realm
that reminds at core
this is all dream
we design in story,
orchestrating pace through Presence
wherein world slows down.
