a stage of life

"i've walked these streetsa virtual stage
it seemed to me
make up on their faces
actors took their places
next to me
i've walked these streets
in a carnival
of sights to see
all the cheap thrill seekers
vendors and the dealers
they crowded around me
have i been blind
have i been lost
inside myself and my own mind
hypnotised mesmerised
by what my eyes have seen
have i been right
have i been wrong
to shut my eyes and play along
hypnotised paralysed
by what my eyes have found
what they have seen"
