Alone in the crowd
Faces forward, stiff necks
Weak glances, we made a big crowd
But so was the cloud
Of isolation, segragation
Thinking we were one
Bound by a wand
Yet alone in the crowd
My feeble cry so un-noticed
My turning and twisting causing jitters
so I keep looking
My thought lingers
How can we all
In this huge hall
Act in awe
As though in a whole
Alone in the crowd
Can you see me?
Do you hear me?
Don't know me?!
Have a minute to?
Ok I get it
You wanna live it
The way you know it
But do you really think
I don't feel a pinch
I don't need a winch
To break this which keeps me
Alone in the crowd
Smiles hiding sorrow
Tears washing guilt
Cries of wolves
Sheep's skin
To boot
Painted faces
Masked reality
Mixed races
Lip service equality
Filled with negativity
I seek a let-off
Look around again
In time to catch the train
New scene
Still alone in the crowd.
