being lost
we have forgotten
what it feels to be lost
with GPS, googlemaps
we know where we are
we have forgotten
the sense of adventure
with signs and maps and directions
telling us where to go
we walk on paths walked by some
traveller whose footsteps we follow
giving us tips of where to go, what to do
and things to look out for
we are a different generation
different from those who came before us
who ventured
not knowing what to expect
only armed with courage
and determination
we are armed with a little more knowledge
have we lost our sense of adventure
of exploration
of taking risks?
have we done something new
something different
something exhilarating
instead of echoing, parroting
memes
Perhaps
we need to be lost
to find ourselves
