in a city of shifting faces we become forgetful about life in different places succumbed to a world within a world. construction and history poverty and misogyny; the city is lost within me and i am lost within the city
we all suffer the internal blackholes of everyday life
in a city of anonymous faces, we take no notice succumbed to a world within a world where only our world matters and we wonder what's for lunch whilst thousands live homeless and the irony of wondering why so many go hungry in a city of greed
consumers consumed by consumerist propaganda
all the shifting faces we walk past on a daily basis bigots, fascists, racists and we are wrapped up too engulfed by our own lives to care about others but selflessness is only selfless if not done for self, but i was told "no good deed goes unpunished" but we should do good anyway because in a city of shifting faces be the face-shifter who stops turning pages and pauses -- take in the scenery and be alive for every moment; it is okay to be a passer-by in a city of nameless strangers but never in your own life
