Prosthetic Gardens
Is this wellness or just the illusion of it
Getting hung up on luxuries in the illusion of what is need
Price gouging desperation
Manufactures of the living
Manipulating circumstances by strings weaved through the hands of multiple marionettes
How do I learn to lead this dance when I’m getting pulled in every direction
When all everyone knows is what not to do
Lording over us at the mercy of this pride
Enlighten me with outdated wisdom in yesterdays landscape
Could you navigate it all so well today
Dysfunctions on repeat, the panic is the riot you incite inside of me
Trampling prosthetic gardens
There are no roots dug deep just plastic debris
Leave sick enough alone when everyone is tolerating a burden and we’re trying to thrive in the illusion of beauty…

Very expressive, real, and momentous. I agree with a lot of what you try to get across in this. There is a lot of materialism and fabrication in society, replacing a fundamental basis to work hard and be blessed in providing for a family. I like the "dance" part, where you say it pulls in all ways. That's a good way to put the rhythm or flow of emotion and logic anymore. So many distractions masquerading as necessary. All of the drama that's pumped into our minds instantly every day makes for growing frustration, and wanting to come to know natural intention, rather than politics, corruption, greed, and so forth. Anyway, good job overall. Thanks for sharing.
