Humanity
Love only by twos'
breaking heart by heart
it is an eye for the sky
mono on a summer night
banging heads to get ahead
the blind leading the blind
divinity unrevealed
evil occupying
every entrance...
......every exit
beauty be still my heart
good serves me well
bad instigates my sentence
insanity amuses you
a patient treating a patient
through time and time alone
the human lives another day
