Seems theres always some kind of buzz <br />To amuse yourself with. <br />Some noise, or flashing bright thing <br />A new toy <br />A must-have joy. <br /> <br />I've never seen modern people get so scared <br />As they do standing alone <br />Without entertainment <br />Without drugs <br />Without company <br />Without mobile phones or entropy <br />Only the clothes on their back <br />Standing alone <br />In a field with no wind and tall grass. <br /> <br />I've never seen them so scared <br />Because when all that's superflous <br />Has been removed <br />Like God striking a match <br />The brain kicks in <br />And they finally start thinking. <br /> <br />And when they think, they don't like it. <br />As the human dilemma comes into form <br />Even for the stupidest mammal <br />They've got to start to worry. <br /> <br />They have to question their place <br />They have to re-evaluate their position <br />Wonder how to move forward <br />Or in whatever direction it is <br />They think <br />That they need. <br /> <br />You don't need a horror movie to scare yourself stupid. <br />Just remove the distractions of 'the first world' <br />And your mind will do the rest.<br /><br />Gary Diamond<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/louder/
