Heading to China

Social stability lacking in a world of fallen concepts
Ramblings of a mad man are claimed to be beautiful
At a loss for the words
Yet emotions worn on the outside
Humans they are for such a short time
On lookers stare with jaded eyes
Enjoyment is the goal
Forgetting the yesterday and the tomorrow
All is too be had in the now
The where no longer matters to these star gazers
Each playing their part in this play
No one knowing their lines
Whether they should exit and enter they know not
Their beings are the only thing they have
Lives that paint the picture of artist dreams
Their essence is cultivated into one word
What this word is they will never know
And their place they will never know
Yet they are all players in this strange improv of sorts
Their ramblings are captions we all quote
Yet if you truly look they never existed

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.

Very subtle, and hard hitting.
I would like to think I was just not
a player,
but one that lived, as well.
Food, words...
for thought, from you.

Thank you, poe.
