Produktbeschreibung

All of humanity has one thing in common: suffering. How we convey this feeling comes in many forms. This book contains words exploring the components of suffering: heartbreak, hope, grief, survival, and love. Our reality exists in our minds and interprets with what is created for us to use. We place so much worth in the material inventory we collect in our life. What is the weight of our emotional capacity? We seek substances to escape the very world we want to be a part of. We immerse ourselves in our work to avoid the human connection we crave. We itemize each accomplishment with the checklist given to us at birth: money, cars, houses, things. Our empathy is clouded by the art of suffering until we are so deeply blinded to the other side of the simulation. These poems explore a decade of existential endeavors into the core of our piece in the greater machine. These words explore the gears we control in the structure of the universe, the components of data that form both body and awareness. What questions do we need to ask to find the meaning to the madness? Our suffering is crystalized inside the characters we create and can only be sought through the translation of our thoughts. Is it our pain that makes us alive? Is our consciousness contingent on the words we create to exhume or mind's processing to another person? What makes us human in this dimension of machinery?
