Welcome to the 21st century: The Family!
Have you noticed how everything in life seems to have been dissected from its whole?
The child from the village.
The village from the tribe.
The tribe from its nation.
Every whole missing its piece of the jigsaw.
The Cow.
Once, you had your cow —
the one that gave you milk, yogurt, butter,
and eventually your meat too.
Let’s not forget the tiny bacteria
that now come packaged in prebiotics
we’re told to buy —
along with the vitamin D
our cells cry out for.
The Sun.
Yes, even the sun,
apparently now has a price tag.
The phrase “daylight robbery” was once metaphorical.
Now, it feels literal.
People once protested against it.
Now, scientists claim they’re saving the planet
by blocking out the sun —
all in the name of global warming.
Madness has become the new normal.
And if you appear normal,
brace yourself for mental health labels you never thought would apply.
Brainwashing. Gaslighting. Conspiracy. Propaganda —
all performing at their peak in this modern circus.
The Common-Day Health Crisis
One moment it feels like the plague
swept the world overnight.
The next, we’re told
autism, dementia —
they’ve “always been there.”
We’re just “more aware now.”
So put your goggles on — right?
There is no conscious nation.
No tribe.
No village for each child.
Each is for their own,
with no time to spare.
No time to ask the curious little questions.
No time to simply be.
Life is moving so fast,
we’ve started distancing ourselves
from our own way of living,
just to catch a moment to think:
How did we become like this?
Where are we heading?
The Solution
Let me say this clearly:
Everything has a solution.
But the solution often demands
leaving the comfort of the familiar
for the discomfort of the forgotten.
From the comfort of the I
to the healing of the us.
From disconnection to configuration.
From digital being to human being.
From crypto to the old-style barter.
From algorithms to actual rhythms.
Because life is a chain.
What we dismiss today
ripples into tomorrow —and touches others
on a cellular level
until even we
no longer recognize ourselves.
Or —
we could be the conscious nation.
Unlearn the noise.
Reclaim the village.
Reweave the whole.
Remain unconventional.
Uma love.
