Modern age.

Monochrome pavements leak into my brain

existence of strangest circumstance

Is this all mortality has to offer

institutionalized and mute

conventional ways of life forced upon

you must become a slave of society

whirring of machinery, buzzing unknown

clock hands tick with precision.

You are being watched

constantly recorded 

none of you share my disdain

am I alone in this world?

What beneath your human skin

trying to arise from a gravitating sorrow

I am a wraith with filtered visions

I exist only within the fractures of time

I embrace eternal solitude.
