What Happened?
Our world is concrete
But it's unstable
Life is short
But the hour is long
The weeds are deadly
But seem like grass
They shuffle by and wonder
But they don't care
A sweet bird's song is
Interrupted by clanks
Machines wisp by
In a rush
The sound of a siren
Stabs through the air
Whatever happened to
Playing with our shadows?
What have i realized
In this quick fifteen?
We've all abandoned
Life's great value
And the world is vain.
