we are alone/we are 7 billion


we are alone
we are 7 billion


we feel alone
we are crowding each other


we feel alone
we are 7 billion


it’s so crowded in the cities
we feel alone anyway


we feel scared
we feel unsure


we have been around for centuries
we are 7 billion


we feel alone in our families
we feel alone in our relationships
we feel alone at work
we feel alone at school


in our churches


we feel alone
we are 7 billion
and we feel alone


we are doing it wrong
our friends or strangers  are doing it right


we are 7 billion

we feel alone
so we want to be categorized
we want to feel the nest of assigned identity


we feel alone
so we build houses
we build houses on top of houses
we build walls with nooks
we sit in the corner so there is no space for loneliness
we feel alone in our neighborhoods, in our cities, in our slums


we are  7 billion
we repeat ourselves


we feel alone in the streets
we feel alone in our cars, but we know we feel alone in our cars


it is very hard to stay vulnerable
it is much easier to brace ourselves and protect our hurt


we are 7 billion








we feel alone in our belief`s
we try to match them up on blind dates


we feel alone in our thoughts that are not politically correct
we are 7 billion


we feel alone
we are afraid of each other


we feel alone
we long for each other


all opposites share a body


we feel alone
we are 7 billion


we are 7 billion
our lives look very similar


our lives are very similar to lives hundreds of years before us
our poverty, our starvation, our babies, our war,  our sex, our communication
we are 7 billion
we are skeptical of anyone understanding us


we are 7 billion
we feel alone in the number


we are 7 billion
we feel alone in the concept

we feel alone
because its much easier to keep eyes shut than to keep them open
there is only so much a muscle can take


we feel alone
because it is easier to feel sheltered in resentment
than it is to be exposed by our injuries


we feel alone
we are on the internet


we feel alone
and we get hair cuts


we feel alone
we take pictures
we want other people to see our pictures


we are 7 billion
we are anxious about existence


we are 7 billion
no human can survive alone


we feel alone in our voting booths
we feel alone so we march


we are 7 billion
we feel alone in our habits
we have so many of them


we feel alone in our guilt in our shame
we are 7 billion


we feel alone in our mistakes
in our choices that we make and don’t make


we feel alone in our apathy
we are 7 billion apathetics


we feel alone
we are not sure if we are invited


we feel alone in our sex
we are 7 billion sexual partners
we are 7 billion I-have-a-headaches


we feel alone in our loss
we are in more than 10 wars globally


we feel alone in our bodies
filled with viscera having pain holding
other bodies filled with viscera having pain holding


we are 7 billion


we feel alone in our sleep
we are asleep

we feel alone in our sins
we are 7 billion and we are perfect

we are 7 billion eating the planet like spores
we are 7 billion, we are destiny, we are perfect

we are 7 billion, we are perfect

we feel alone

we are perfect

we are 7 billion
