Brain Drain

So sad that books have lost their sway.
Pity our minds have gone astray.

We’re no longer seeking out tomes.
Bookshelves do not line our new homes.

Our love of language has soured.
No more shaped by words devoured.

We debate with false reference.
Shallow is the new preference.

Impoverished in our thinking…
Our ignorance, now, unblinking.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
