Contentment, the waist of busy bodies’ blind eye
 
This constant state might make life pass unnoticed by
 
And without the essence of our true self to know
 
Who is to correct the waywardness this world now shows
 
With technology a constant item of our bliss
 
We cannot see the natural wonders that we miss
 
Oh god if you just put down your **** phone
 
And let the beauty of this world become known
 
It would fill up the empty feeling in your soul
 
You get when sitting utterly alone
 
Because knowing ones own self is a true gift
 
That comes only to people who actively live
