Nobody Looks You in the Eyes
written by: Grzegorz Wróblewski
Everyone necessarily wants to save
world.
They talk about encounters with the divine
entity or become members of a syndicate.
People are walking towards the fire and selling
building plots on Mars.
And no one looks you in the eyes.
In a maze of concrete, fake lotteries
and paid love,
there’s nothing left.
Nobody looks you in the eyes.
