Today's Truth

Surging weight of the population

Restraining affinity in people

Acquired bits and land 

But bare souls hard to understand

Ears loaded with headphones

Eyes soaked into gadgets

Mind whereas clueless

And hearts brimming emptiness

Lonely in every crowd

Silent even when making loud sounds

Down each time trying to smile

Relishing everything, even if it's vile

Pretending and feigning

Fighting a battle within

Agitation of failing 

Is agonizing and killing.
