Callin' "I"s

The downtown streets are alive
Like a colony or a hive
Of confused insects
Following their instincts
They don’t know why
But they try
Through the traffic signals
And social signals
To remember
What they might have known
Their minds are blown
So they just keep goin’
Are they all alone
In their mental zones
Or is their some common ground
Amidst the sound?
The cacophony
Is only phony
It’s an aural screen
To block the screams
Within our minds
Saying “We’re entwined!”
The billboards too
Shout at you
Say “Me Me Me!”
But in reality
Who are you?
Who am I?
Deeper down
Beneath scowls and frowns
Beneath miles & miles
Of plastic smiles
We know the truth
That I am you
And you are I
And that is why
I call me I
You call you I
We’re the same I
Looking out through different eyes
And I has always been
From now and back to then
And up until the end
When it all begins again
And our task is to love each I
That hides behind these eyes
To love through the disguise
That’s the truth this city hides
The downtown streets are alive
We are all one deep inside
