We are alone

We are alone
Especially in crowds
But even in small gatherings
Solitude may come

The illusion begins early
Breast milk is addictive
I believe "hide and seek" is
More than a game

The tragedy of adolescence
Is the complete insanity of
Together

Sex, drugs, rock&roll
Are not the only
Altered states

Ring around the rosies
Pocket full of posies

Oh, the wisdom of innocence
The young have yet
To embrace the lie
And ignore the obvious

Ashes, ashes
We all fall down
