Soulessness

Glassy-eyed people moving as in a dream looking without seeing seeing without looking Lustreless eyes no inner joy Huge concrete boxes close in everyone stifling their souls Dried-up people shut others out shutting themselves in

This seems so true of many people these days. I truly believe they are lost souls. You have captured this so very well in your poem. Excellent job! Faith

Thank you, Faith. This is a possible outcome of life in a "concrete jungle".
