Everything Is A Distraction

To keep you away from

Your miraculous divinity

From you discovering you

Who you really are in a

Hodgepodge of chaos

Constantly craving

Inner satisfaction

From external sources




This is fun



Meanwhile, you are a symphony

Of coalescing atoms and quarks

Working magically together to

Form an anthropomorphic form

In such a way that it has many

Sensory receptors to see,

Feel, taste, touch, and smell

The interconnected cosmos

In an observable universe through

The five and many other senses*

That you are not separate from

But are infinitely intertwined



This begs the three letter question

WHY?

For the three word answer

I don’t know

Save for only the most reasonable

Slightly well thought out conclusion

Constantly presenting itself, which is

Experience, for the sake of experience

Or for an alternative suggestion

Entertainment for entertainment purposes



Within each separate distraction

Holds the trappings of money and power

How do you acquire each, or lose both in a

Neverending cycle of loss and gain

Repeated by every bipedal earthling artist

Wearing a constantly changing mask

One worn or not worn in acquiring love

Adjusted differently for each acquisition

From parents, lovers, strangers, authority

In pursuit of the aforementioned premiums




When behind those masks is a

Unique you, above all of the distractions

“Equilibrioception – a sense of balance. This is what keeps us upright and helps us make our way around without getting hurt.

Proprioception – knowing which parts of your body are where without looking. It’s how we can type without looking at the keyboard, for instance, or walk around without having to watch our feet.

Kinaesthesia – sense of movement.

Thermoception – we know whether our environment is too cold or too hot. Being able to sense the temperature around us helps keep us alive and well.

Nociception – the ability to feel pain.

Chronoception – how we sense the passing of time.”
