2 semesters ago, I was in a 3 hour evening archaeology class. Needless to say I got bored and did some writing instead. One night I was thinking about how the world is now and how it influences us. I sometimes wonder how we would be without all the advertising and all the stuff that gets into us and alters our ways of thinking and our subconscious minds. I was also thinking about how in the city we are so disconnected from nature; we've created our own environment. I'm not really sure I like what I wrote below, but I think it's interesting take on the subject.
Society,
you have betrayed your mother,
and your father is disappointed in you.
How did you become this way society?
All your brothers hate you,
and all your sisters weep.
What have you done society?
You had it so good.
You threw it all away for a land of steel jungles.
You're never satisfied society,
you tear down your past still searching
for something you've lost long ago.
Disown me society,
don't claim me as your own.
Abandon me into the unknown,
and release me to myself.
No more may you change me,
for I was never formed from your mold.
No more may you lead me farther away from what matters,
and the meaning of this life.
Disown me society,
throw me back.
Allow me to heal, and turn back into myself,
let me regress back to my true nature.
Without you, society, I live.
The air is sweeter, the days are fuller.
I'm able to own my own mind,
no more of your manipulative and mind-altering ways.
No more may you steal my spirit,
and give me a generic purpose.
Disown me society,
I'm not yours,
and as it ends up, i have found i never was.
