Strikes me this world is united by loneliness
Longing for love and acceptance and touch;
Everywhere, barriers: back, side and front of us
Even though most of us don’t ask that much
So we reach out through the arm of the Internet
Hoping to make some connection that’s real —
Striving with words to rein in all our demons and
Hoping there’s someone who knows how we feel
Yet, though alike, we can be at cross purposes
Needing to take what we don’t have to give:
It seems this world is united by loneliness
Distant point near
We will die thus
And live
