Cliché

Cliché
Trains subways cars people, an era of confusion
Humans dominating Mother earth, its all an illusion
Forgetting who they are in a desperate attempt to live
Not caring for their brothers and sisters unwilling to take or give
The only things these mortals take are lives
Their stagnant apartments cover the sky, repugnant beehives
Nothing can extricate the ego that resides within their mind
Conceited fools they are, to honesty they are blind
The Sunday tabloid, broadsheets, just scraps of paper
At neither sorrow nor joy will they ever caper
There she lies, the forgotten Mother
No one giving a damn about the other
