The Human Puzzle - Marco V, Mr. Mann

You know that you’re a piece to a puzzle right?

A near infinite puzzle that grows in size every day — incredibly beautiful and

complex — it’s called humanity

But sometimes — sadly now, almost all the time

We’ll take the puzzle piece that is us and we will pound it as hard as we can

into a place it’s not meant to go cuz we’re gonna make that shit fit — pound it

in — make it fit

Because it means so much that we appear to fit

But the funny thing is when you force that piece in — when you wedge it in

Well the next piece doesn’t fit right does it

And the piece after that — and the piece after that — and the piece after that

Yet we’ll keep on pounding them down — ignoring the obvious

Until we have a picture that’s so distorted — so upside down

That nobody’s sure what the fuck the picture’s even supposed to be anymore

So what do we call this bizarre doppelgänger puzzle we’ve created?

— hmmm — well…

What’s a suitable name for a glaring distraction that doesn’t look like

anything close to the reality it’s meant to reflect?

Let me see…

Facebook, instagram, twitter, snapchat, reality TV, pintrest, vines,

Black Friday, endless selfies, comic book movies, Donald Trump, drone warfare,

home grown terrorists, YouTube stars, anything Kardashian, cyber bullies,

Hollywood, Bollywood, the 1%, the 99% who are content to put up with the 1%,

public schools, pop stars, brutal dictators, modern politics and politicians,

big oil, organized religion, whatever scientology is, McFashion week,

hipster culture, big pharma, that plastic island in the middle of the ocean,

ass hole big game sport hunters, network news, twerking, the hard left and the

hard right, 50 shades of Grey, celebrity journalism, doggy day care,

multi millionaire athletes — you get the idea

And there’s no way we can bring this picture into proper focus — right?

Actually, there is, all we have to do is revert back to the authentic versions

of ourselves that we were on the day that we entered this reality

And see humanity’s current mountain of shit for what it is — absolutely

meaningless

We simply reboot who we are and return to what we were put here to be

Each of us an equal, perfect, and important piece

Of the human puzzle
