Look Up

if you ever took the time out to watch people,
to survey the passers-by
you'll notice we're all connected.
by some thin thread we are all linked together
here not merely by chance.
though we find convenience in
pretending the other isn't there,
we're all intertwined.
brothers and sisters
trying to succeed in an un-unified world
built on unity--
a blueprint that no longer stands firm.
our movements vastly the same,
operating in different timezones.
our paths align, converging on the
same disappointments and joys,
all striving for shooting stars that keep shooting.
when will we look up from ourselves and realize?
