Reflection And Resourcefulness

"We live in a society of catch phrases and pre-fabricated belief systems. So many people accept concepts and ideas without entirely thinking them out. They believe advertisements and consume products not for their function but because of the manner in which they are presented. It is easier to accept the system that others have created than for one to create a better world. There is a wealth of knowledge and resources surrounding each and every one of use, yet we opt for a lifestyle of convenience. We are surrounded by excess and waste, yet it seems it should be quite easy to design and live a life free of work, rent and stress while still enjoying the "comforts" of "society". Anything is possible in this world yet it requires thought before action."

To read allows the
luxury of reflection
yet why think when someone else
can dictate your actions

everything is marketable
and everyone's a mark

we exist like captive veal
confined in the dark

it's the only life we know
we never think of getting out

we have everything at our fingertips
yet allow ourselves to be blinded
