Unquestioning by Lelia Thomas

You sip your coffee
In front of the TV,
The only light of the room.
You’re holed up there,
Safely in a modern womb.

So satisfied as a sponge,
Taking in lies and political grunge.
Feels good to not question
And to call that freedom,
To think of it as progression.

No need to read a book,
When you only want a brief look
Of truth, both beautiful and dire.
Your heart’s colder than the coffee.
It won’t come alive with a little fire.

You sip your coffee
In front of the TV,
The only light of the room,
The one who will speak to you
From modern womb to tomb.
