I am not
"them"
And I wish today
To talk to
You
You, who look around
Whom peace has never
found
Always someplace
bound
Chores and tasks
abound
Nose to the
grindstone
Aboard a
never-ending
Merry-go-round
Your own voice,
An unheard, muffled
sound
You, who can't hear
Your Self
Yet think you're
invincible
To you
I am invisible
You pretend
I'm not around
You, who walk past
My cardboard sign
I see the fear in
your eyes
Even though you
resign
Yourself to my
presence
I know you'd prefer
I certainly confine
Myself to places
Where you can't see
me
You, who won't pay
What you know I
deserve
Yet partake happily
When I'm there to
serve
Your interests
And if I observe
How unfair it is
You question my
nerve
Citing how there are
Resources to
conserve
You, who want to
bear
Arms against me
Fearful you are
It's clear to see
No matter what my
plea
You force me to flee
Since we are
basically
Separated by a sea
How long will I run?
How long will you
hide?
Though you ignore me
I'll always be by
your side
When will you wake
up?
When will you see?
When will you
Remember?
I am not
"them"
I am
Simply
You.
When will you
Remember
Who
YOU are?
