HEART OF STONE

What happened to the real you, you've been captured, but by whom ?
Bob Dylan

Oh Oh Oh Oh what would I give
if I could only be
for just one night
a Justin Bieber fan - to scream
in total self-abandonment,
to cease to be
me, but stand
together with ninety three
million other people
delivered up entirely
as if solely
to the One - this surely
is the glory
of Babylon.
Oh but that simplicity, alas!
is long gone - that out-
pouring of the soul.
I've got something better now.
I've got a heart of stone.
