WRITERS' BLOCK # 54 -- SO FEW OF US

SO FEW OF US

This is the way we live now,

so few of us

cocooned into concrete and steel,

thermal glass allowing us distorted views

of The Outside,

as if there were anything left to see.

*****

If you wish to find out more about WRITERS' BLOCK 

this link is a good place to start, please join in the fun,  The Rules

    Great piece of work here, It's oddly complex in its simplicity.

    That's how I felt in the picture, too. So I went someplace else. As is my custom.

    This Writer's block-thing sounds great. Have to check it out.
    You have been able to capture something meaningful in those lines.
