city full of lotus eaters
sleeping in peaceful apathy;
a life with no reality
dancing in the wind
with a slowly fading mind
drowning in the bliss
sunlight beating down
creating dark shadows on the ground
they move all around
city full of silence
whispers unheard in the distance
surviving by ignorance
they eat their lotus flowers
drifting hour by hour
nothing but a blank stare
is anything even there
