Reflection And Resourcefulness

"We live in a society of catch phrases and pre-fabricated 
belief systems. So many people accept concepts and ideas 
without entirely thinking them out. They believe 
advertisements and consume products not for their function 
but because of the manner in which they are presented. It 
is easier to accept the system that others have created 
than for one to create a better world. There is a wealth of
 knowledge and resources surrounding each and every one of 
use, yet we opt for a lifestyle of convenience. We are 
surrounded by excess and waste, yet it seems it should be 
quite easy to design and live a life free of work, rent and
 stress while still enjoying the "comforts" of "society". 
Anything is possible in this world yet it requires thought 
before action."

To read allows the
luxury of reflection
yet why think when someone else
can dictate your actions

everything is marketable
and everyone's a mark

we exist like captive veal
confined in the dark

it's the only life we know
we never think of getting out

we have everything at our fingertips
yet allow ourselves to be blinded
