Race to Nowhere

Forever towards elusive horizons, 

Driving away our primitive fear, 

An endeavor at best. 

Blurs of men zoom past, 

Ghosts of ambition, 

Echoes of monotony. 

Vaguely human

Beyond black windows 

Shielding the blazing anarchy 

That is our world. 

Lane by lane, 

United in the race to nowhere, 

Carried on by the flow of evolution, 

If not for the sunrise, 

The promise of morning 

Through this dark night.
