...on a limb...Eye write...
when we get off our de-VICES
and go outside, what does our reality look like?
what do our dreams look like
when we lay our heads to...rest?
what lesson has Humility taught you...me?
painful the Journey, yes?
to be slow roasted over the lies we've sold
to our Souls...looking for a come up
sucks to come up empty
sooooo...
we hurry back to our de-VICES
with a flurry of unreconciled e-motions
desperately searching for empathy...validation
in the 'likes' of familiar Liars
getting so personal
with people we'll never meet in person
oh the irony
oh the agony of the Spirit
to realized we've been fleeced like pre-destined sheep...
all the while knowing Shaytan plays for Keeps
hunkering down for shelter...
Ouroboros style
afraid to go outside
...afraid to close our eyes
and pretend that we don't see what we SEE

What a profound write, Naajir. I don't have any social media & I'm not planning on going there either. It's so many lies, fakes etc - social media aside: it's hard to know who or what is real or not in the virtual realms.
I prefer to trust, to give everyone the benefit of the doubt - until they prove differently.
