By nature, we are spiritual.
Humanity: we praise each other, we praise higher powers,
We worship idols, deities, money, and fashion.
I have no hope for us, anymore.
For we used to be spiritual and truly believe,
We used to see with eyes instead of lenses,
Touch with hands instead of phrases,
Love with meaning and not with numbers,
Pray to something other than computers.
We used to worship our earth and the land provided,
But now we just sink into seats of leather,
Use a remote and stare at moving pictures.
We are no longer innovative, intelligent, or simple,
Instead we are overflowing with unnecessary knowledge that only benefits our outer aesthetics.
We no longer think with our minds but with devices in our hands,
That not only think and talk for us but have become us.
We are no longer humans,
We are no longer animals.
We are fake, processed chemicals.
We might as well be genetically modified fruits.
We are programmed and brain washed
That our way of thinking is incorrect,
That we are unable,
That we are obsolete.
We are no longer humans but merely gods ourselves,
making us question everything including the existence of it all.
If we are truly beautiful creatures why is earth a living hell?
We are spiritual by nature but how can we believe
in anything when all we know is me?
