Image for the poem Take a pill

Take a pill

Take a pill

Cure my ignorance
Open up possibilities

Lands to see
People to meet

Cultures to greet and embrace

Head in the sand
Is not who I am
Or who you should be

Curious wonder
Not going down rabbit holes

Look to find a common seed
Ignorance be death of me

Mind is an empty vessel
Waiting to be filled up with knowing

All around you is beauty
Of unvisited horizons

The path of knowledge
Isn’t a straight line

Dead end of denial
I want to know what’s going on

Not an ostrich I’ll find the truth
Living within all of us

46 chromosomes equals humanity
But if you give up 45
To go down a rabbit hole

What does that make you
Less than Human
Or even cro maga man

Knuckles have been off the ground
For thousands of years

Now we are going back to
Stone chisels and granite

Sorry but I didn’t sign up
For this assignment

I’m living a Jetson dream
Spacely is not my boss

Flying cars and hoverboards
If I have to live with technology
Better make my life better

Not going back to sharpening iron
Or living in the last world

I’m a forward looking man
I have technology

Why would I go back to
Sparking fire with two stones

Culture warriors with popsicle sticks
Culture warriors with popsicles
Turn into a puddle of lies
