An Alternative World

The buzz, the hype, the roaring crowd,

I settle down, wonder what I'm doing,

There is no motive, no mother make proud,

.

Life moves on, pitifully slow,

I spend it sleeping, eating, construing,

Wondering at a better life, a life worth living,

We wonder what makes us so unforgiving,

of the pitiful things, the things worth thinking,

the fight for good life, in a world unliving

We are singers, dancers, believers all

that we can change our ways,

in this oppressvie thrawl

Stop

The light sparkles here, see?

a blink of light only, through the hazy smog,

The sky so frightful and fitting

I blink, I cry, I hope for life,

A world of joy, love, none omitting,

I reach out, grasp the air, reaching for something out of care,

The light dims, evaporates, dies

I hang my head to cry.
