The day begins so early here
& the night is elusive
Everyone takes their story to a local pub
All their habits are fancy
All the lights are amusive
All the famous idiots belong to the same club
& sometimes that's what I love to see
The less important side of reality
The day seems to last forever
But it holds no pleasant light
The town is moving counterclockwise
All the must-haves are free
All benefits so easy
& all respected fools tell the same lies
& sometimes I just can't escape
This town of fails played on a tape
The night is so sudden here, like love
A fast passing train
& it plays with my mind when the dawn is near
It's like the end of the world
Like a nightmare for children
Like my forgotten madness, my injection of fear
& I just sit, & laugh & stare
This world has gotten to nowhere
& I just don't wanna go home no more...
'cause sometimes it feels too much like a part of me...

People-watching can be an alluring pastime. Now, this may sound stupid (just enroll me in the club) but every thing I need to know about life I learned from "The Muppets Take Manhattan." The quote simply says, "Peoples is peoples." - No two the same, every single one of them different.
Your poem reflects this. The so called "state of affairs" in the world is just Peoples being Peoples. It's best to remember that no matter what happens in this world, the planet will still keep on turning. - Phil A.
It's hard to disagree with that.. Quite interesting . Thank you for this comment, I find it very useful & inspiring :))
