A poem about strangers. One I wrote up yesterday, but didn't show until now. Not that I needed to edit or anything. It's mostly free verse although I really seem to like using repetition in this one.


the thought from human mind

the voice from human mouth

the movement from human step

which the foundation derives.

I sit, and watch

as they pass, indifferent

to the people they do not know

whose hate is bred in life and politics

always, for sickening fame.

Public is not really public,

Views are not really views.

Truth, is not really truth.

At least, not most of the time.

It is always these times in that we realise

just how much we keep what we are,

who we are

hidden from all in sight.
