The Binary Faces



                 The Binary Faces
In this mono culture we stand
Facing vacant faces
Dead eyes and bitter lips
Minds unaware of the breeze
Or the bird songs on the bare trees

How we all have ended up here
Is this total madness
Or we are cowards
Can not bear the horrible empty reality
Shy away for charity
Live in your isolated empty vanity

Searching from fashion to phases
Where we must hide our identity
Live in our illusions
And strongly deny our bitter reality
