We see you in your loneliness,
Sometimes we wonder which is lonelier,
Being alone together,
Or being lonely alone,
With no protection that you know of,
Principles replaced by nothing,
The lies becoming desperation,
Outrageous violence internal and external forming distractions from life,
Making the loneliness a new type of alone,
Alone with your machines,
Alone with your fear,
Alone with your oppressor,
Alone with roles played,
Alone from the past,
Alone from the future,
Stranded from the universe,
Separated from sun, earth, moon, sky,
With only god to comfort you while he sanctions war and greed,
Messengers clubbing you,
Heavenly threats and promises,
A basis for exploitation of everything,
Even yourself,
Giving up together,
Surrendering,
Alone.
