Truth Seeker

Write it down. Make a note.

Add it to your list.

Organize your facts so that

There's nothing you have missed.

 

Keep track of activities.

Organize your files.

Sift through clutter endlessly.

Maneuver 'round the piles.

 

Listen to the constant chatter

Occurring in your mind.

Update, upgrade, upload, and upscale

Before you get behind.

 

Connect all dots, look for answers--

Leave no stone unturned.

If the stress builds up then try

Acting unconcerned.

 

Be sure to take in everything;

Do not miss a sight.

You notice that your grasp is weakening?

Hold on with all your might.

 

Buy the latest, smartest, greatest--

Maybe pull some strings….

But wait! Surely life must offer

More than stuff and things.

 

Are YOU living life or BEING lived?

Only you can know.

Slow down. Breathe. Smile. Don't be

Tossed to and fro.

 

Why be a slave to busyness

And ultimately curtail

Your freedom by condemning yourself

To your own private jail?

 

Why pore over volumes of words

For clues that will misguide you

Instead of looking within to see

That truth lies deep inside you?

 

Why seek answers in so many places

Hour after hour

When life's profound meaning can be

Reflected in a flower?

I think this reflects so much on our culture on how we believe we are free even as we're watched constantly and fed an overflow of bias journalism.
