Impostors,
Frozen in time unable to feel
Naive to hear, touch nor see
Soon we are not who we are
Bound to be completely free
Why have the years gone by?
Oblivious we are they disappear
Blanketed delusions within us lie
Creating facades from our fear
Walking, seeing and hearing cries
Of those distant voices who call
In the shadows of our existence
Getting up to try again we fall
Folding hands from dirty laundry
When desire bubbles in our core
For items to build broken dreams
Yearning we wish forever more
Impostors exist within our mirrors
Reflecting beings we do not know
Defiant souls who crave but fame
To continue waves of greedy flow
The hearts are beating to a rhythm
As the Earth echoes cries of plead
Revive love and mostly consider
Respectfully equal we do all bleed
Abundance lives in air we breathe
It is not too late remove the mask
Although kind cautiously do step
Each fulfilling your mortal task

Despise you too.
I wonder
Are you a victim,
Or devious controller,
Of your life,
And
I'm done pretending
this doesn't make sense, then
where does that leave me
without you? That's something I cannot see
I'm
by Carol Gioia
Out on a limb,
filled with regret,
balancing my act,
with no safety net.
Hovering on the edge
of uncertainty,
barely containing
by Lyn Adaway
Electronic Mongrel
.
This secret I avoided
Didn’t share with you
I’m really half android
Please hear me through
