Condition of Humanity

Alone

Lone

One

One is a winner

One is an empowered human

standing big and tall and at peace

with oneself

proud, self-fulfilled, one

Lone is romantic

A wolf or a ranger

intentional and as beautiful

as it is blue

Alone is without

Something is missing,

you are not whole

You are sad and, tired and, cold and

Alone

Lone

One

Lonely is where the three meet

In the waves of green waters deep

You are a romantic winner without

something you cannot place

The same feeling every

soul who tread these floods

felt before you dipped your toe

into the vast world of nothingness.

longing for that emptiness

because we are too full of something worth even less

a misery that penetrates the eyes

once they're open wide

A sorrow every man has borrowed

yet still we feel lonely in this feeling

of dejection

for everyone else has just accepted this

a lonely so inherent

it will forever be inherited

Every generation knows

this dread is what loneliness is.
