You are distracted, you are available

The world used to be silent

Now it has too many voices

And the noises are constant distraction

They multiply, intensify
They will divert your attention to what’s convenient
And forget to tell you about yourself

We live in an age of many stimulations
If you are focused, you are harder to reach
If you are distracted, you are available

You are distracted, you are available

You want flattery
Always looking to where it’s at
You want to take part in everything
And everything to be a part of you
Your head is spinning faster at the end of your spine
Until you have no face at all

And yet if the world would shut up, even for a while
Perhaps we will start hearing the distant rhythm of an angry young tune
And recompose ourselves

Perhaps having deconstructed everything
We should be thinking about putting everything back together

Silence yourself!
