Disengage from Withstand by Withstand

The measure of progression standardless
Untethered from the past
Floating irreversibly unmoored yet yearning for more
The framework of understanding
The language of the living
Discarded sacred canopy
Shattered or merely bent
Social capital overdraft
Retreat into our homes
Empty streets groan

Hollow hearts, hollow minds
Behind closed doors
Interaction abandoned, exchanged
When right and wrong are one
What should be mourned
The place where joy and sorrow bind

Blind guides on power trips
Soulless, narcissistic
We respond with isolation
Solipsists, conscienceless
Consciousness led to
The place where joy and sorrow bind

Complacent detachment
Can we erase this consequence
Strive to bridge experience
For meaning, for purpose for consequence
Complacent detachment
Can we erase this
Complacent detachment
How can we avoid the consequence

Are we creating
Are we creating
Heaven or hell
Heaven or hell

Are we creating heaven or hell
