For What We Burned the World

by quan

A world of filtered communication Silver screens and robotic dreams Our heads filled with visions of false identities Ambiguous, superficial Ludicrous, artificial Mounting themselves above our fireplaces We live the way we are raised to live We see what we are taught to see A flushed salmon rushes upstream Thrashing and bruised when Ha'nih catches him We thank the Gahonga, we break, we eat The tumultuous quiver of the earth As a spritz around the fire ensues Peace, essence, and comfort is the way of life We live the way we are raised to live We see what we are taught to see
