Ungrateful
by Michael Doyle

There is in core functionality
An awakened and new sense of reality
It's another bit from our biology
That we're given over to our technology

We all have our half-hidden flaws
Decidedly difficult as nature's laws
That breaking our loops is difficult
And when we try, our systems revolt

This is the way of our illusions
Painted in over in visions of confusion
We can't hide from our indiscretions
However much we'd favor our progressions

There is no stopping what is true
Twisted as we are in God's view
Crooked notes played in broken keys
The pain we suffer does not please

But in this pain, we are set free
To explore and learn our possibility
And yet, it is that we are not thankful
The selfishness of humanity leaves us ungrateful
