Ode Of Solitude

-The unspoken side of New York City

Why am I feeling so lonely?

When I am with you

Why is it filled with ?emptiness

in the crowded bar smelled like urine

Why do I feel so alone?

When I am surrounded by thousands of walking heads

Here comes the media and social networks?

Inexhaustible are the talking heads?

Why do you smile with the skin on your face?

and the muscles beneath it freeze

Why do you shout and yet

I don’t hear a word coming out

Why does your endless noise muffle my favorite music

Why are the Neon lights so bright

It darkens the most illuminating mind

Why are you so hurried?

As if to catch the last train to nowhere?

Why do you have to host nightly parties?

With your fast money that is?

Beyond decadence

Jibjab, calculated and cold

All that glitters fills the hall with gold

Zoloft, Ambien, quarterly profit mixed with Romanee-Conti*

Bore me to death?

Slowly I dug a moat

As deep as an ocean ridge

I dive into the mystery fascinates

The untainted minds

Steadily I built a wall

As tall as the Great Wall

I stand on the shoulders of giants

I built the castle with my bare hands

and the song I sing is called?

Ode of Solitude?
