All Their Lives Are As Big As Yours

I've come places

a cabin

dark and dusty

alone in the woods

I've come places

a ruin

dank and musty

desolate empty shell

And bullet holes

with children

and hopeless hopes

with forgotten fathers

I've come places

among mountains

and false lakes

green deserts

I've come places

skyscraper

and shouting traffic

in bright city lights

And broken homes

with children

and hopeless hopes

with forgotten mothers

I'm complacent

a murmur

against the backdrop

and all their lives are as big as yours
