Sitting in a lonely corner

Small children with there dolls

Stealing and stabbing, they played

Sitting in a lonely corner

Preteens on their phones

Not glancing up

There whispers are saying something

That they want to pass quickly

Parents screech but they don't hear

Sitting in a lonely corner

Teenagers breath into a death machine

When they breath out, there is no regrets

They pierce there ears and call there parents names nobody will take back

Parents screech but they don't hear

Sitting in a lonely corner

Adults sink

Smelling the chemicals, like it's regular oxygen

Parents screech but they don't hear

The parents are gone now

Sitting in a lonely corner

They watch the children play

Braided hair with there partner they teach them how to read

Sitting in a lonely corner

Money runs out of stock

Ship there children away

In a cardboard box, they stop

Stop and wonder what they did or if they could do something to the world

Sitting in a lonely corner

Other elderlies come

Stomping there feet and screaming

They still sat there

In that lonely corner
