What has happened to these people with sunken faces Avoiding contact when walking by each other Sharing a pedestrian or a sidewalk Not seeking the eyes of the unknown walker Almost in fear of sharing something with the unknown walker Since when is unknown strange Since when are we afraid to meet something we are not sure what exactly is Why are we so afraid We are afraid to lose and so am I But since when do we automatically lose something when we dare Which scared fool convinced his naive follower that this is the way to behave in this world
