i'm not a hippie but...

"the real world"

we say it implying it is the world in which adults live in.

the world someone had to teach us.

the one that no other creature knew about.

the one we've all been taught to put faith in.

the world of business and law.

of restrictions and "for your own good".

the world of nations and boundaries.

of age limits and tax codes.

i don't know how that could be considered real.

considering all of those are abstract ideas human minds fabricated.

no other natural being comply to this order.

they all follow the laws and the nature of a much realer world.

which sometimes i feel like the only one that understands.

so are government documents realer than the air outside?

do you feel the need to put factory made substances to wash away the nature on you hands before you eat?

does your own unpolished body repulse you more then the synthetic chemicals you can't pronounce on the back of your shampoo bottle?

i want to burn candles not electricity.

i'd rather paint than do obey an artificial reality.

i want to feel safer sleeping on the grass than in my bed.

i will be deprived of money before i am deprived of sunlight.

i will believe in the innate laws of music and land.

before the lines they drew on a map and before doctrines they wrote.

i won't pledge a nation but

i'll entangle in the world.

i'll trust earth before the concept of a government.

and i won't commit to a religion without believing in the stardust and galaxies.

i want to trash all the things they've taught me.

i want the real world to be the world i can see, not the world they want me to believe.
