Man Against Man

How can we go on staying here frightened by our lack of fear, we calmly panic much too late and live together loving hate. Individually we share and trust each other to beware, full of empty fantasy to look for that we cannot see. We listen for what cannot be heard and educate to be absurd, to make the silence seem so loud and still get lonely in a crowd. The longer gone the less to come and nothing gained is more than some, to give us peace we fight a war but freedom is against the law.
