21st Century Freedom

The media inoculates us against our humanity
feeding us fear
while we starve in the streets
begging for a just rain. 

We embrace immediate gratification while
crying to forgotten gods
of unconditional equanimity

Our lights dimmed
we seek the hollow promise of 
shiny things
while with learned and earnest petitions for "more"
we've lost our way 
and forgotten how to pray

Herded cattle we chew our own bones 
witless and incapable of marveling at the loss of our humanity
Gaily contented with our "freedom" to do so.
