Buried Heads

Heads neatly tucked inside ourselves. Denial is our enemy; distractions are our downfall. We are soldiers neatly lined in formation, blindly following those whose heads are buried even deeper than our own. Where can we find light in this never-ending shade? It starts with a simple question. I steal furtive glances among my associates and find a few open eyes staring back. I see a question mark form in each pupil. A subtle glimmer emerges in each iris – kindling. It becomes clear that once the question is asked and the eye is opened, there is no turning back. The kindling ignites. Time to break rank!
