Caution: Cynicism Will Ensue Poem by Karen Esperanza

Caution: Cynicism Will Ensue



They'll smother you with all these images,
of all these things you're supposed to do,
all these things you're supposed to see.
And they look so appealing.
They look like a dream.
Something worth wanting.
Something that makes sense of all this insanity.
Because everything works out,
when you're standing infront of one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
You find yourself.
Is that not clear?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
albeit cynical, it's worth a thought. Please don't travel because a traveling company wants to make crazy profit out of you, or because you feel it will complete you. I don't think it will, not from personal experience. But you are fed that in advertisements, that your life is so incredibly dull wherever you are that you simply need to escape. By all means, travel, but intentions are important. They're the road and they can't be overlooked.
