Down The Rabbit Hole Poem by Ronel O'Reilly

If given a choice
would one choose to merely exist?
Endless days floating into each other
a comfortable state of Non-Being.
Or would one, just like Neo’s awakening
after eating the red pill, start questioning
our beliefs about the world
and attempt to discover
what exists behind all illusions?

To many, it may seem like it is easier
to remain in reality
through the eyes of society, one who questions
may seem mad, lost …

The world we see is a mere shadow of what truly exists
everything in our world
exists as an idea
like Alice in Wonderland led by the White Rabbit
down the rabbit hole,
I can truly agree

“If I had a world of my own,
everything would be nonsense.
Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't.
And contrarywise, what is, it wouldn't be.
And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see? ”
