Strings of Ignorance

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjv4p2KJZ3

The inventions of our age

propel a fractured society

into the arms of ignorance,

a quiet death to expertise.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPMLEyLISq

We strand ourselves,

lost in the machinery\u2019s shadow,

speechless before

entertainment that binds us.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4N7POwuOi

Man's youth,

a ghost now resolved

to inhibition,

is weighed down by

materialistic indulgence.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rdThh7iMK

Their steps falter,

harnessed by symbols

prescribed and hollow,

images masquerading

as the end game.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtuw7PSsrZ

He chases youth

as if it were salvation,

longing for the innocence

of children,

their ignorance

both a curse and a balm.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH8gwgdDbZ

His hands are SHAKING.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb2gFkHuIB

How could it be healthy

to tie ourselves in strings?

Tell me,

what do you believe?
