    the rythym of citizens
    moving in unison
    pulsing down the street
    flowing through a channel
    i can never trace

    how could i explain such innocence
    such helplessness and such grace
    beneath one sky

    you can feel the fear
    drifting down twenty-third street
    you can watch it washing over
    you don't need to see clearer
    you don't need to get any wiser or older

    it's evident all around us
    the power that we possess
    it's evident all around us
    our listless endlessness



    beneath one sky

    how life has to carry on regardless of good or bad.

    lovely picture of time in motion
    movement of emotions too.
    very thoughtful piece here.

    In the words the lengendery(<--speelcheck) Guru you got Skillz. Very moving piece very powerful. Just got to make a few critiques, the end of the first and last stanza don't flow to me, but maybe that's just me. It's only really noticeable because the rest is gellin' so nicely.
    And a question.
    Is the third stanza about the enemy?

    i pictured the channel of people as people commuting in the streets then i thought maybe its a channel of light that we are following, life is flowing to some distant destination
