Strings of Ignorance

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KCUEGLIfF

The inventions of our age

propel a fractured society

into the arms of ignorance,

a quiet death to expertise.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndYJeqv5Zq

We strand ourselves,

lost in the machinery\u2019s shadow,

speechless before

entertainment that binds us.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPCKCLeaVx

Man's youth,

a ghost now resolved

to inhibition,

is weighed down by

materialistic indulgence.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg2hZfyH5c

Their steps falter,

harnessed by symbols

prescribed and hollow,

images masquerading

as the end game.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy1P7Oe7HP

He chases youth

as if it were salvation,

longing for the innocence

of children,

their ignorance

both a curse and a balm.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LPyZtKLSE

His hands are SHAKING.

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGJZyIIWF0

How could it be healthy

to tie ourselves in strings?

Tell me,

what do you believe?
