Emptiness
I look around at the passers by, smile and get nothing.
Desperately searching, waiting for something.
A blank stare.
People who don’t care.
The gravitation towards instant gratification.
A robot in motion.
Fulfilling it’s own notion.
With no regard for the rest.
You will definitely fail your test.
The satisfying of every urge.
The evil within yourself will emerge.
Neglecting to act.
Will be the death of you in fact.
Hello fallow.
Goodbye tomorrow.

It's an eerie thing to walk amongst strangers sometimes. People you will never get to know. Their stories will remain a mystery, which always makes me sad. I've noticed that as I've gotten older, the more and more people won't look you in the eye. I am guilty of this as well, but if we pretend that each other are not there, then we loose a very real connection with the world and each other. It is easy to label a stranger as a bad driver or a moody customer, but this makes them loose other titles that you don't know anything about. The moody customer may have recently been titled widower. If you think of everyone as being very complex, your connection will come to life. People are loosing a sense of responsibility to others. The responsibility to let someone get in front of them on the highway or if someone is being bullied to stop it from happening. If you take responsibility for yourself and others, you are linking the chains of change. You help someone and others follow suit. Bad behavior is contagious and so is good. The more we ignore each other, the more empty we become.
