Father
what does that word mean anymore

Does it mean something that is never there
Is it something that isn't close?

Or is it just something you hear in fairytales

Throwing a baseball around
Does that exist now?

Or is it gone too

Stuck in our perfect worlds
In front of out perfect shows
Watching the world with unknowing eyes

Is that what we are now

Workingman
What does that mean now

Does it mean something in a tiny space?
In front of a perfect box
With nothing to do but to sit and type

Stuck in our tiny boxes
Hiding in our tired minds
Seeing the world with unknowing eyes

Is that what we are now?

Can we even think?
Of seeing the world
Like we did back then
when we saw the world
As if it never changed

Wow, amazing. Ironically enough it almost seems like I have a new pair of eyes to see through. You know the unknowing eyes of others.
