One Man

It only takes one man
They say you can
You try so hard
You try to hide
But somehow your worlds collides
Through time and space
You can't escape the places
With so many empty spaces and
Blank faces no heart no love
No friends no family
No one cares but for only themselves
The next big break, the next wining lottery
In hopes of changing themselves into
The next big sensation that would be their goal
Happiness true happiness everyone searches
Trying to fill a deep empty casium that only
Holds the dirtiest rocks cracks and crevices
With the stinch of stagnating water cutting through
The whirlwind of air circling like a tornado
Attempting to catch ones breath
Can't breathe, can't breathe
Sufficated by air swirling and twirling all around
Trying to grab hold to something to stop the spinning
To rest to take a deep breath and exhale
Exhale all the wind to rid oneself of the stench of the stagnant water
Pulling down rocks crushing them under my feet
Clearing the dirt and dust putting it in the garbage where it belongs
