#69: Incomplete

Sometimes I wonder…
What is there left to…
When nothing else…
All I’m hearing is…
To love is to be…
To live is to be…
There is no…
But that’s…
My mind…
You see…
Haven’t…
I don’t…


In the course of the day, we come across a countless amount of thoughts, most of them incomplete. We are exposed to so much information in so little time that it is overwhelming. But how do we sift through all of this information? I guess the best thing to do is ask yourself a question. What was the most significant thing you learned today?

#66: A Thousand Eyes mean a Million are Watching

They’re always watching
Down on the ground
Up in the skies
Thousands of cameras
Millions of eyes
They see me
But they do not know me
They track my movement
But know not of my dreams
I’m only a number to them
I’m more than a number


  
We are living in the age of Panopticism. The world is watching you, judging you, and calculating what you represent to society. Whether it be your credit history, your internet browser history, or your work productivity, society values quantifiable data more then ever before. But what of things that are immeasurable? What of your dreams? What of your internal longings and desires? The world observes you, but it does not know you.
