Oblivion

Oh, what a strange yet seemingly typical phenomenon it is these days But hearing of folks sinking into a state of forgetfulness - Lying on their beds or in the public streets, drunk or stoned out of their minds. It is most unfortunate that so many people today wish to Vanish themselves from the world and bury themselves In deliberate ignorance, unmindfulness, unawareness, Or even complete unconsciousness to escape their miserable circumstances. Nobody is meant to be perpetually oblivious unless they're in an actual coma! March 25, 2023 for Writing Challenge - 'O' Words Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France
