We have stuffed our lives with busyness
our houses with crap
our bodies with junk
our minds with entertainment
our hearts with information
our spirits with fear
While emptying
our spirits of love
our hearts of compassion
our minds of truth
our bodies of life
our houses of charity
our lives of rest.
We are connected but lonely
Informed but ignorant
Comfortable but restless
Violent but cowards
Right but hypocrites
Alive but dead
Loud but dumb
Watchers but blind
Tuned in but shut off
Always eating but never satisfied
Christian but Christless
Atheist but gods
Aware but apathetic
Alive but deadly
Speaking truth but living a lie.
