Morning ritual, I browse the net
The web page is all blood-red
Someone killed, someone maimed
Situation far from being tamed
My villagers and relatives far away
Learn the revolution the hard way
I feel like disconnecting.........
Nowhere to go, nothing else to do
I phone home in the dead of the night
A close family friend just passed away?
Was shot down in a dawn attack they say
Worst nightmare unfolds for a family
5 kids minus the breadwinner I see
I feel like disconnecting..........
Checked my email one morning
Five new messages it says
Sixth sense smells something sinister
The titles dont make much sense either
Funeral pyre of a close one burns
Took some time to comt to terms
I just disconnect.

And how difficult it is to remain compassionate yet detached! Well expressed JB, I share your sentiments.

I come to the net hoping to disconnect
I can't
For here too they follow me
My sins and my hopes
Wish I could stop
Wish I could stop dreaming
Wish I could stop living for others
Wish I could stop not being myself
Detached I try to be
I can't
Try to live life the way I want
I can't
Now all I can hope is to go into a deep sleep
And never wake up again
Yes I am
I am the Depressant Dosaze
