* Lonely in the crowd

I felt a hard push on my shoulder,
It hurt as if hit by a boulder .

I realised that the pain wasn't physical,
But it was real , not a story mythical.

I looked around for somebody who could pat on it,
Just a few words of sympathy if not a first-aid kit.

But all I could see was a world of means ,
People putting profit in their jeans.

I knew the push had hurt a lot, couse somebody left me without giving a second thought.

Now I was alone with an aching shoulder and a heart shouting loud ,
In a big room of strangers ,
Lonely in the crowd
