Poetry: Enlightenment

by Stacia Elizabeth Whitbeck

Plastic steel

wood and stones

mix with ideas and money

and soon we are trapped

in our networks

held captive by ten thousand buttons

that led nowhere

and we go to sleep angry

we wake up tired

and we spend another day

running around in the silent circles

we created
