Look Within

I thought our worst days were behind us
In the distance seemed we were evolving
but our rapid evolution blinds us
the call of advancement binds us
LOOK WITHIN...

In the wake of a million likes, tweets and swipes
Under the guise of instant information
facts are often unchecked and untrue…
We are succumbing to mind altering advancements
that 40 years ago seemed impossible
which to some, seems like a long time but is just a microcosm
of our brief time on this orb...
LOOK WITHIN...

It seems that the closer we seem to get to higher consciousness
Technology gives us distractions disguised as infotainment
that derails and diffuses linear thought
so that we aimlessly amass knowledge of someone’s choosing
in this growing selfie society that grew out of the ME generation
there is a disconnect from real social connection
It’s easier exhibiting affection in emojis and pms…
No need to go see the fam when you can Skype or Facebook
Better than back in the day when #booksmatter
kids spent more time playing outside than on a console
and punishment for acting out was a thing
respect was the word of the day
And tv was something you watched for news and laughs…
But as time changes so do we…
LOOK WITHIN...

What is our path to a spiritual awakening?
It’s said we are individual universes
All spinning in our own galaxies
Destined for greatness our paths often unclear
We can feel isolated and lost
forgetting we are connected
By a dissonnant cord
that when unified brings harmony
and we see our common humanity
LOOK WITHIN...

The journey to the next level will need a collective leap
To our higher selves…
Then our Earthsong can be complete.
