The Big Picture

The inevitable difference,
Between ‘the big picture’,
And the reality seen by those within,
Is almost always a matter of perspective lost,
Sometimes willfully,
By those who use that term,
To deny the consequences of actions or policies.

“Not knowing is much more interesting than believing an answer which might be wrong.”

- Richard Feynman

There is something wrong with a society,
Which constantly tries to convince us,
Of our own unhappiness,
Always promising,
We will be happy,
Only if . . .
