daf It's hard not to notice
walking down the street
the precisely neat
geometry
As I pass by
what stops my eye
are the stunted people too
ster-ile and oh, so blue
But for these eyes
who's wept for you?

It isn't but a step away
outside the lines
From crypt-cold rooms
workstation tombs
into the warm sunshine
Still, it seems like miles

Seems like miles and miles to go
but do we even know?
Even ponder what awaits
beyond this empty plate?
Could we know that fate
if we felt its surety?

Turning footsteps
are drawn by primal dreams
Will the morning ever dawn
on our waking hours?
Will we feel its power
and know that we are free?
Will the walls of our delusion
liberate our liberty
by pressing down too long?
Do the weak become the strong
when blessed with open eyes?

Will we feed our open eyes at all?
