Our life force glows like a neon sign
Vibrating and pulsating
It reflects more that our expiring good will
It represents a moment in time
When all we have is wants
And care nothing of needs
Breaking down community
Ripping it at the seams
You reap what you sow
We are changelings
The faces of people that once thrived
That once knew empathy
Now, only the richest survive
One for one and one above all
No matter how weak
Who gives a damn how small
Our life force flickers
And is snuffed out in the fall
