Try as you might,
one can't capture the light.

More megapixels,
4k OLED monitors,
all the money in the world
can't buy you the sunrise.

Just wake up
a little earlier.

Just wake up
and fill your eyes
with ochre skies
instead of with
upvotes and likes.

The faux phones lie,
truth is only a step outside.
An amalgam of everything
always seems black
and white,
but a meer peer
through the window
will tell you otherwise.

Revel in the greyness,
the gray,
the greatness of
our hombre lives.

Wake up
a little earlier.
Put your phone aside.

Wake up
and fill your eyes
with simple truth lingering
right outside.
