There’s just so much going on
These days
And, although, of course
There always was
It’s in our face
On our screens
In our ears
A constant drone
A prolonged scream
For attention
From everyone
About everything
No wonder
We feel overloaded
Foggy, numb and bloated
There’s only so much
One person can absorb
So much of what we are fed
Is garbage
Soul-less spruiking
Money motivated
Trying to grab our attention
For selfish reasons
Vapid
Surface
Tepid
Worthless
Look away, I say
Look away
See the clouds and imagine things
See the mountains and head towards them
Climb above the every day fog
Of useless information clouding your vision
You need to!
No, not later!
Now!
It’s an addiction
This over stimulation
It delivers no joy
Its just distraction
A ploy
Packed with platitudes
A pantomime
To sway your attitude
To swipe something from you
Your time or energy, your money
It’s corrupting, egregious
Don’t shrug or laugh it off
It corrupts you
It isn’t funny
Look away, I say
Look away
Turn off your device
Step back from the screen
Sure, life is an illusion anyway
But nature’s presentation is so much more pristine
Has substance, grounding, meaning
Get real again
Find purity
Simplicity
Use your ingenuity
To create a depth of reality
That you can rely on
And believe in
Beyond the prism of digital domains
Which pretty quickly can become a prison
Escape to find yourself
Go outside and stay there
Unplug and unwind
Go outside of your craving mind
So much more out there
Awaits you
Look away, look away
Before the shiny thing
Makes you dumb and blind
Look away
Look away
See there?
Far in the distance
You may find yourself
Ready and awaiting your return
Go!
Now!
Not later!
