Consumed
“No mere human cannot stand in a fire and not be consumed.” ~ Christabel LaMotte
Consume the news,
be confused, sing the blues, blow a fuse.
Consume potions, from drugs to Netflix,
get lost in the Matrix.
Consume pornography,
french-kiss misogyny.
Consume social media,
group-think Expedia, personal-connection anemia.
Consume nature,
become one with the savior.
Consume books,
time travel, knowing looks.
Consume music,
dance with deities, set your spirit free.
Consume poetry,
touch legacies, see eternity.
It is subtle, but in plain view.
What you consume, consumes you.
