Disguised Reality

Disguised Reality

 

 

Dare we ride the crest
Time's wave of undertows
Amidst strangling strands of ancient webs
Swirling beneath ebb's replenishment
That which has glided atop the shores of one's experience
Pulling back for tomorrow's archives
The swath of conscience at test
Our tide that either caresses Time's journey-sands
Or clutters its shores with one's jetsam
Bile's of fear still clinging to desperation
Unwilling to abandon the drift of unfulfilled life
Hooking a tangential ride
For yet another disguised reality

Courage knows not undercurrents as enemies
Only as resonance surging

Dare we peer beneath the crest?

I'm a bit confused but I believe you're writing about most people operate at a surface level of thinking, relying on friends and their neighborhoods for most of their lives. Probably why so many are turning off the news.

Why so many know so little about what is happening right under our feet that causes almost everything from weather to what we eat. The primal thrust for survival of even the most primitive elements of existence. Probably why we war or don't pick up our trash, unfortunately.

Yes, it is one thing to write, talk, or sing about life, and something very different to live it. Still, it is better to be fearless with pen in hand, while attacking injustices, wars, torturing, and all the atrocities heaped upon us than to cower under the rocks of reality and not challenging life at all. You have said much in this short composition.
