Not a dystopian world we are living in.
That's just our imagination and way of thinking.
If the world were dystopian,
We would have been dreaming of utopia to live in.
Maybe it's not the world that's broken, but our view of it.
A cognitive shift
Seeing the reality.
A state of awe
With transcendent quality.

When hit by the truth -
An overwhelming emotion.
Appreciation of beauty,
Increased sense of connection.

Shift in self-concept,
It could be transformative.
Sense of fragility
From a different perspective.
We are just tiny and random creatures in this vast expanse of the universe.

I woke up again
And the same sun, moon and sky
But still feels different
For "Our Time Capsule - The 21st Century".

Confused and shot up
Anesthesia injected
Hallucinations

You, I and we all
Sleep every night with a hope
To wake up next day
That's the hope we all hold. That's the common thing among us - to live.

Infallible. Imperishable.
Unwavering. Immutable.
Neither subjected to limitations,
Nor to transformations.
Death and decay -
None of them in your way.
The permanence of the divine
And the permanence of the stability.
Amidst the ever-changing world,
There is unchanging eternal reality.
There's an eternal reality.

Head up, looked around
Metal bodies, that’s what I found
Many running on the ground
To the bottom of sea floor – some drowned
From the land to the sky
It’s metal all around.
The 21st century.
