The meaning of rooms and streets
The meaning of people
And of being human
Fades gradually away
And the value of love and community
Gradually grows insidious and boring
The lines of perception
Blur and become vacant insensibility
The border between reality and delusion
Vanishes into thin air
Truth becomes deception
Day and night fuse into the twilight of consciousness
Time and space distort and disappear
On the edge of despair
Life and death surrenders
To lonesome apathy
And meaning dissolves into nothingness
by Hugh M. Lewis
