Sitting there,
Alone,
others are there,
but they mean nothing,
its not as bad as you thought,
though much is left before the end,
when its over,
all will be changed,
noises filter in,
but not your noises,
others noises,
those of the unpunished,

For justice is a revenge,
a "righteous" way to exact pain,
who has the right to it?
who can say what it is?
Those in power will not stay there,
behind the desk,
more alone than even you are,
than you could ever be,
making you theirs,
attempts to ease the sting of singularity,

a demonstration of power,
veiled under the facade of assistance,
its naught but an exertion,
they know it as well as you do,
they take pride in it,
love it, live it, need it,
when they, in fact,
are the slaves.

"There is a beast in man that needs to be excersised, not exorcised."

who's to say...but sometimes that pain is just too much to bear~~
