In a Ocean of Humanity

Can you see the person for the crowd The big picture overshadows details The choir drowns out a single voice With everyone running can you sit down Is it hard to breathe, in an ocean of humanity swimming against the tide no one by your side Falling upside down Into all, you slowly drown Cling to the outer edge gasping for the ridge leaning on the ledge One engulfed by all one by all in thrall Crushed before you crawl never see what was sawed Nothing humane in an ocean of humanity Embrace the energy of all from coldest chills to the thaw Listen to the voice of all, be proud we are all single digits within one giant crowd
