Just What to Say?

I wondered then
I wonder now
I wonder each and every day
Just what to say
To make a jot of difference
To what holds sway
In minds abstracted from the way
We come to be here
As we are
.
Is nothing really all
That can be said
To quell this fear
That’s in our heads?
.
Put there by generations passed
Who can’t be asked
To think or feel
What’s real
But must for some odd reason
Divorced from emotion
Insist
What’s here and there and everywhere
Just isn’t
While putting in its place
Some imaginary fabric
That cuts across reality
Slicing it into portions
As if it’s a piece of cake
Easy as that to seal
Our fate
In closed packaging
But taking forever to heal
Until and unless
Sound reason prevails
And restores us to our senses
