The Ghost of Loneliness

A world of ghosts
living, breathing ghosts
that no one can see or hear
The truth is ...
no one cares to see or hear

Walking among us
but apart ...
Separate and severely blue
the world of lonely spirits
makes up me and you

Isolated and alone
in this world, no longer home
No longer a place to laugh
with friends and be free
Ghosts of Loneliness prey on thee

Behind the facade of prosperity
lurks no concern for neighbor or friend
Often a place with no respect or dignity
no one cares to see ...
where lonely ghosts meet their end
