Urban minds

A poem about modern day minds

By Lauren McMahon Published 3 years ago 1 min read

Murmuring wires hang in powdered skies.

Bringing electric dreams to broken souls, and empty minds.

Who are you? And who am I to know?

Why.

Why we still go, wheels turning on burning roads.

Golden glows cast on slate and stone.

Reminding me that, maybe.

Just maybe, we’re not alone.

And maybe, I should know.

How to think. And where to go.

Without someone to tell me so.

Whispers from those wired dreams,

Lean in close and tell me who I ought to be.

How to see. Agree. And guarantee

Cause lucid dreams feel all too real.

When servants in suits and ties

Tell you how to feel.
