Manufactured Darkness

Were we to open our eyes wide
we see so many brave ones
battling it out to live
make a living, survive...

But we prefer
to close our eyes
to agonize over the trivial
make mountains out of mole hills
making it a life & death matter

For we have long become slaves
of the three letter word - "Ego "
doomed to  do it's bidding
at all times...
