GYRATING limbs in our one ness ,
hollow  and blank are our  eyes ,
tomorrow is an illusion ,
today is the end,
hands reach out to nothing in particular,
but  expect someone  to respond ,
delluded and disappoint with the way the world works ,
recklesssex,sniffing drugs ,
our only form of retaliation ,
parents will cry disapointment,
oh what is to become of  our future?,
they've forgotten that we are the products of our environment.
the copy machines  of their actions.
