Because the World Knew

Disenchanted with the world
I stand alone
The empty soul of a being
So far from home
Not knowing why I wander
Or where to go
I drift aimlesly through earth
My life in tow
Some days seem so glorious
As often they are sad
And people seem so wonderful
As often they are bad
But I put it all together
And shatter it like glass
The knowledge that I need to know
Will some day come to pass
Laughter comes so easily
Tears are free to all
Understanding of this world itself
Broken by The Fall
So although I have a hundred friends
At any given time
I feel less alone right now
Sitting to write this rhyme

very nice piece, on the other side of phone waits many ears, but why burden them with lonesomeness ... much respect evil one..

Know what you mean - I traveled through India, Europe and Britain on my way back from Kabul...so many "friends", so little fellowship.
