Staring out at the crowded masses, <br />with eyes of cold gray granite, <br />I strain for a flicker of consciousness. <br /> <br />Sculpted as a labor of love, <br />with hands that know no humans touch, <br />I reach for the one who loves me. <br /> <br />Rain disperses those souls of hidden features, <br />who come on sundays, in the afternoon, <br />and pray that I can ease their strife. <br /> <br />Wasted as they are, the pitiful wretches, <br />they are the ones who have a life, <br />yet come to me for their praises. <br /> <br />Though from me, they believe what is in them, <br /> <br />... that they cannot see without me. <br />
