The shift and the pause,
We take a look at each other and wonder,
Was it all worth it ?
Or was it all just a distraction ?
We seek remedies for maladies,
A late reaction for a hasty action,
We seek that elusive moment for temporary peace,
We shout and seek justice for pieces and bits that could be illusions,
Our journey on the tracks are carte blanche as we see fit,
The showcase over screens and five second stories will spiral,
As we crash and burn, little toy soldiers abandoned,
Out of sight and out of mind, we'll dance away into the darkness,
A preamble to all that we are able to achieve,
We have shifted mountains and closed boundary lines,
Stamped them as infectious and us as righteous,
Where do we seek to shine but in the gaze of the ones that we do not know,
Where do we seek solace but in the measures enforced to separate them and us,
Twisting, twirling, spiraling into the depths of our human magna carta as we proclaim we have graduated with magna *** laude,
We are the shadows that lurk behind our steps,
We are the misery that seeks all public attention,
We are the joy that's lost beyond a child's smile,
We are neural networks of sympathy and pumping hearts of empathy,
We are complicated and distinctive,
We are the black, white and grey,
We are the spaces in between your words and actions.
