// A vicious cycle?

Slow down
Look around
All you people

Talking about what you've seen on teevee
Staring at societal misfits
Whispering about the people next door

Craving, longing, yearning
Desperately

For some truth in your life,
Or for the latest gossip?

To be an inspiration to others,
Or just one chance to speak and stun?

To fight for the things that matter to you the most,
Or for things that don't even concern you?

And sometimes I wonder...

Am I on the outside looking in,
Or just another guilty one trapped
In the centre of it all?
