Awaken

It’s May 5th 2024. 7:40 a.m. I am 30 years old now. Sitting In my car alone I hear the hoot of an owl joined in by small beautiful song birds as the sun begins to rise.

I sit.

I Listen.

I begin to wonder.

What is the meaning of this life?

Of this totalitarian society we have condemned ourselves to.

What is freedom?

If not being able to sing a song when and were we please? To travel and sore without borders such as the birds do.

Are we truly free. Free to live? Free to love? Free to do as we please?

Society says NO. You must work. You must serve others. You must be a good citizen.

The owl begins to hoot again as my madness reaches its peak.

I am awake.

Are you?
