Distopian Reality

Could i be too far howdt there
what will i find when i let go
when i look for the mirror
and the reflection appears blank
underwhelming achievement
the cost of empowerment today
in terms of ethics and morals
and credibility - cannot vision
a world as out of balance
as the current one we inhabit
seeded with outrageous abundence
yet sequestered by few whims
endless perpetual escalator of
unrelentless growth demand
converting biomass into humanity
as if, as if, as if we recognize
no other intelligent critters exist
because they don't speak words
can be excluded from cognizance
cept when we deem to pet them
the relationship of trust
dependent upon past cultivation
but, y'no, we reap what we sow
