Sermon to a Self

It’s not like you can drive through McDonald’s to
buy a cup of freedom or
go to your grocery store to pick up a package of
 frozen feel-good
to put in the freezer as a quick fix for a bad day.

Just how many unopened emotions does a person need so
he can’t let himself do what he wants to do,
have what he wants to have,
be what he wants to be.
No tricky can opener, unlocking ziplocks,
pill-popping or shrinks would set him free.

Most don’t know they are lost in a
society hypnotized by some things they can see.
Just one: TV grabbing you by the eyeballs,
cementing you to a couch potato future. 
A potato is a vegetable. Potatoes go to seed.
They grow in dirt and are dug up to be eaten.
How couch potato does a person need to be; i.e.
how dead-headed or...

We all have freedom to choose
what we do now that makes our
tomorrows win or lose.
