so many lives under the gun
the multitudes go on and on;
eyes of coal and hearts of stone
— sometimes I feel so alone.
beneath cold moon or burning sun
shadows, each and every one;
strip it down to soul and bone
— all of us are so alone
we walk the streets and breathe the air
wondering just what we share;
platitudes frame every home
— everyone is so alone.
when everything is said and done
— together we are, all alone.

Hi Spike,
60 years or so ago the message in this poem would have had less relevance to community
life as we knew it then - but today we live in our private little empires, sharing only with a
handful of acquaintances and unashamedly engaging in our own self-pursuits, and giving
not a jot for the triumphs and disasters of those unknown to us. We ARE automatons and
slinking rapidly from collective strength. Your poem says it all so precisely .... we're alone
because we've made it so.
Well scribed as always, my friend.
Tommy
