When true values lost, awaken sleepers?

Thinking of values, of all people, after reading Medicine wheel, a poem by Coyote. So this thought, a few words, that may become, a poem of values, people, illusion perceived- called reality??

Asleep as if a dream like state 

Perceptions smeared truths eradicated

How many truths and how much pain

Amid days when most seem to be asleep

Collective consciousness all are connected

Righteous gifted all distracted by material

A shelter required for each

Not so much those shiny things

Money a mere currency

Like Salmon spawning

Always running

Against the current

Death looms at the end of the stream

May we find peace

Security and strength

Blessings and safe passages

Before we expire from this plane of perception held

Held within this realm of fear

Where love is taken away my dear

Sentient beings called creators of destruction

Have we forgotten in the wheel each is connected

What direction have we gone

Too late to turn back now so long

So long ago we were enslaved

A great corporate reign

Unraveled life its finest qualities

Like a thread keeping us

Please look and see the love in each and every soul

Just desiring a shelter, peace, food security

Is it too much to give rather than take

I need to get ahead for myself and my family

The rest will have to make it on their own

Why should I give up one cent for another

Suddenly economies collapse

The greedy money holders grasp

Of wealth and security gone

As the walls of this scrutiny crumble

Mankind shall tumble until at last

They come together again

Perhaps all should fast

Remember our place here within

This world where it truly always ever has been

All one tribe.

Author's Note

256 words, the other site says, where I usually enjoy sharing my works. But when I feel forced to comment on two? I seem to lose some of my own, passion and creativity, for writing and sharing, what my heart is feeling.
Thanks for reading, and commenting. As you like.

beautiful! and I agree with you:
"This world where it truly always ever has been
All one tribe."
and as you say :
"Collective consciousness all are connected"
