Social Seclusion: City of Dreams
Sitting in boxes
Hidden from reality
Consistence of self
Socialites in strife
Isolated thoughts within
Total distraction
Caged realism
Elements of self-pity
Deprived sacrifice
Senseless emotions
Loneliness implores mercy
Bodies shake and sway
Reaching for something
Crashing faceless onto floor
Where nothing exists
Social seclusion
The mind and body resist
Muffled exposure
Single families
Individualistic
Lifeless together
Alone from the start
Oppression is a birthright
A social order
Caste society
Exacted isolation
imposed suffering
Shuttered ray of sun
A shimmer of light transposed
Bright human beings
Senseless frustration
Upholding the foundation
American dream
