@*$# People

I met people in circles
I met people in squares
People hiding in boxes
Under the lights of flares

I met people standing looking up on X marks the spot
I met people who observe a little
Who say they know alot

I met people who dream
I met those with images preconceived
I met people who scheme
I met those of selfish wants that they call needs

I met people who touch
I met people who feel
I met those with hands that must
Be filled to consider what's real

I met people who try
I met people who lie
I met those who fabricate their lives
To be called you and I

I met people from near
I met people from far
I've known some people for years
I still don't know who they are

Society the galaxy
The people the stars
The world, the connection
The people
