Intellectual Paralysis

Arent we all suffering from intellectual paralysis; stuck in hands of devil?

We made education an excuse to earn money

We have sold our character in the name of diplomacy

Is not it funny that we have humans made of plastic not of heart & soul

Devoid of feelings, consideration, genuine connection and value; utter garbage

We feel pain only to mask it with big giggles without holding space for us

We have living in gender roles; as mom, dad or daughter

In this hustle and bustle we have put purpose and service away

We are just zombies putting each other down stuck in rut just juggling

We once gave world a zero to write but now world is giving us zeroes everywhere

Does it feel like a dark spell of nemesis where you don't know whom to trust who is real?

You can't breathe in air without gasoline nor say whats on our mind without getting disgraced

We buy our kids good but never sit with them to connect and problem solve with empathy

We dont be ourselves then damage our kids to fit into those gender roles selling honesty

Values these days are seen as a way of low-lives and excuse to manipulate

Arent we all suffering from intellectual paralysis; stuck in hands of devil?
