Am I
the man that’s standing in this hollow, full, yet empty space?
a circle in a square
and
he does not have a face
what is found now
has it
really lost its place
Confusion rules
is that not such a sorry disgrace

as you are always in a
hurry
with a lot of time to waste
you know where to go
yet
you never find the place
you enjoy living slow
yet
you hurry and make haste
you need confined place
so you
live in outer space

you need proof and evidence
yet
you don’t have a trace
you like simple rules
yet
you create for yourself a maze
you need to pay attention
yet
you are always in a daze
you like stability
yet
what you touch you tend to faze
you are the most serious
yet all you do is play
this you do at nigh time when it is meant for the day
everyone else is mad you are sane you say
well I guess this is mans ignorant way.
