Facebook: Dark Well
How odd is this
i am at the bottom of a well!
the walls are all screens, segmented screens
look, there is Ohio, and there, Sri Lanka
Karachi, is there...here Peshawar,
Islamabad..oh..how beautiful they are!
They are stunning, so colorful, alluring
Pulling my heart..
I love them all..
They love me too..
Oh Boston,...LA..
They are all ablaze..
I want to touch them, but i cannot
Oh..that girl, is so cute, so charming..
that smiling baby...she is a girl..
Kashmir with all its splendor calls me
Malaysia..Philippines..how adorable
But...they are all just...beautiful changing pictures!
Names..doubtful, identities...unknown, spirits..ghosts
this is enchantment, i am under a spell.
Sri Lankan forests, Oh how i long to be there
with that amazing beauty....those eyes..beamers
piercing my mind. And that..who speak the common tongue
Oh she is so cute...little doll..
What a handsome young man he is..caring ..like brother
He is the brain ...facebook...all light ..blazing light..
i can see all, yet..i am blinded to myself
This light is blinding me ..yes..erasing my memory
Oh...what have i done.
At the bottom, i live, in walls of mud,
among Lilliputians, i am a Lilliput with grownup mind
Entranced by these bewitching lovely sights
Blinding lights...I can see these changing faces, pics
Unreal artificial ..to them..i am unreal
linked through beams of light..can i clutch this light?
Can i pull them here, or ..take me there..
Oh plz..break my day dreams..i am yelling at you,
O you pic-changers, stop these lights, Oh my eyes!
How i wish to make them real, like me, tangible..
Me...surrounded by worlds, in books..
little kids that know nothing..laughing faces
Rustic people with natural ways...all in this dark abyss
lovely ..so lovely is my dark world....my world
know nothing of the world beyond the screen..
But i have seen it, this unreal world, imaginary illusionary
world ..so beautiful like heaven, yet ..painted..hidden
Oh..please..someone stop throwing this light at me
someone shut these moving pictures..
I am YELLING at you
I cant touch you, cant access you, you are just a beam of light
Let me be here, i love darkness, love my world..
SOMEONE..shut my eyes..for God's sake...
