Shadow People

poem by: Matthew Ramsden
Written on Apr 16, 2021

"They" are just a manifestation of us.
just a shadow of the collective.
People choose what they are willing to accept.
Fear is no excuse 
a lie you tell yourself
For comfort or ease or sedative sleep.
Ordinary men one step at a time 
Blame the collective 
Excuse yourself 
Suits your morals just fine
"They" are just a manifestation of us.
just a shadow of the collective.
People choose what they are willing to accept.
Fear is no excuse 
a lie you tell yourself
For comfort or ease or sedative sleep.
Ordinary men one step at a time 
Blame the collective 
Excuse yourself 
Suits your morals just fine
"They" are just a manifestation of us.
just a shadow of the collective.
People choose what they are willing to accept.
Fear is no excuse 
a lie you tell yourself
For comfort or ease or sedative sleep.
Ordinary men one step at a time 
Blame the collective 
Excuse yourself 
Suits your morals just fine
