“Traveling a Broken Record” – Poetry

August 18, 2020January 30, 2021 Ena Whiteraven

To plan an adventure, a sojourn in a distant land

Mesmerized by frequencies, kaleidoscope of bizarre new sights

Hallucinations of other’s dreams, yet so convincing

Then I collide with the blatant irony, so elusive yet so clear

That all is the same everywhere, encryptions that never vary

Repetitive trends and teachings, identical fantasies and thrills

Superficial amusements, old distractions dressed up new new clothes

The world is a broken record, yet they call this variety

It makes me wonder who else is here, controlling what these eyes see?
