People Watching

Lingering on the very edge of the insanity

of a world that has lost touch with humanity,

watching,

waiting,

for one single spark of realisation

from this sycophantic population

that there is more,

much more,

than the insular life and existence

they project with utter insistence

that all that they do

and all that they say

should be the world's dying embrace

the epitaph for the human race.
