doing what is known.

  Pretty simple:

  why can't we seem to get it?

  New Reality

  Must we leave

  this "reality"

  we have called home

  until now?

  Must we chase

  new experiences

  upon new worlds

  far out in space,

  hoping they'll be

  bursting with life,

  in pristine conditions?

  Should we hope someday

  to walk unsullied wilderness,

  without borders,

  without boundaries,

  no longer chained to the grind,

  no slaves of death?

  Or,

  would it be simpler

  to change the way we perceive

  our daily 'reality?

  To superimpose

  our hopes and dreams

  on the facade

  of a strip mall?
