Shadow Break

A stark realization
Of insignificance
And radioactive heart beats
Pulsating through their closing minds

Rushing through
Crowded streets
Trying to find people
To love and hate

A game of words
And of actions
Incomplete
Can you compute

Carefully typed words
Printing out of their mouths
Sooner or later
They will run out of ink

Living on grass
Becoming so crass
Purposely
So they will never have to see

Film over their eyes
Cannot will not
See the sun in the sky
Nor do they feel cold or hot

Hatred and furry
Brews in them
Lacking curiosity
And love becomes a definition

Old sayings and rhymes
Become folklore in their minds
And any hint of all in one
Vanishes in their own time

And now we wait
And watch them fall
From outskirts, underneath
And over it all

We stand as shadows
Waiting to see
We melt with the last show
Hiding because we are free

What is it all
But a definition
Tyrants and power
And we are all a politician

Run and hide
But how long can be denied
The truth
That has been immortalized in short lived youth

Only to be grown out of
Oh the irony
You leave hate burning
But synthesize love

What are we to do
But sit and watch
And who are you
Going by the hands of a clock

We're waiting
But now we need to be breaking
Their minds out of
Its confines

No more running
Even to the shunning
Turn the tables around
Break out of your shadow on the ground
