Life

City life is incredibly damaging to a body's sanity. Gun shots, police sirens and thousands of ignorant apathetic people shoving themselves through the crowds of nameless faces. It begins to wear on the body and the mind. You think; “Why?”, and you just can't seem to find the answer. Why?
Why do people murder, why do they steal? Why do they continue to propel themselves through the world of unidentified souls, their fellow man whom they never think twice about.
Out of luck musicians, poor failed artists, men who just haven't had an easy time, they crowd our streets and we feel nothing for them. Sure, we hear them mumbling to themselves, toss a coin or two their way but is that really what they need?
We can push aside the rich, the poor and our friends and all to march in mindless formation. Endlessly we trudge on in search of that new promotion, meeting at 12:00 or even just a bit to eat.
I swear, it can drive a person mad if they think about it too long. Maybe that's why the rest of them stay silent. They keep their minds on lesser subjects because the true-life drama will end up killing them. Over exposure to the truth, an overdose that you can't come back from.
Some of us think to much, on the outside of our protective shields. Are we doomed to fall into depression? Possibly, the greatest minds of the social world have a knack for doing so. I certainly hope this is not my imminent future.
