Tope says:
He walks in the midst of the living
but in his being something is missing
he seeks escape from the void in his mind
he's as lonely as a chick left behind
he looks but doesn't see, listens but doesn't hear
cos his mind,his consciousness is elsewhere
he's like a blind man in the lion's den
he takes note but doesn't understand
in times of trouble he doesn't know where to stand
his ignorance is as baffling as it is grand
he cannot differentiate one from ten
he seems never to learn
always the same blunders again and then
he lives like a zombie
no goals,no motives,a non-ambitious trauma
as long as he still takes one step after another
he believes he's become what he can ever be
but he sees the ants,the mosquitoes and bees
always unrelenting, forever industrious
the rats,birds,squirrels he surely sees
so hardworking all of these
he does but doesn't care a floss
he likes his life just the way it is
he looks at himself and loves what he sees
