We paraded down the streets
     walking side by side.
In rows,
     and scattered,
         not speaking.
Saying nothing
     in groups, talking,

We sat on benches of inconvenience

We walked past trees we’ve climbed before
We faced
     the base of mountains
  we detoured the first time around.

Scored a path through the darkness.
     On the tiles of Scholars
  and squares of Squares.

We settled to stay unsettled.
We loved to stay unloved.

Here it goes.
Chest caved in
     in the privacy of my own home.
Nothing’s more secure
     than being alone.

"All you need is love..." -The Beatles

Echoing our message
Concrete to all stalled
We parked our words
A message
as
We spoke as walls

Head bouncing
We repeated to old friends
Bending forward
This will never end

Now in desparation
We seek another path

It was just the mowing
But waking up the grass

A fraction of life is not giving life
But that life gives life

And life is a challenge
But asked yourself

Why do you want to control life
