And so, in this polygon, many are standing on
Seldom few see eye to eye
They whisper of fears and invisible worries
Somewhere dark deep and inside
Shouting, complaining, and spreading the fear
Fear of the unknown within
And yet it is clear to the detached observer
To face down the fear they must turn round again
And there in the polygon, facing the center,
They’ll see it’s outrageous, profound
That all the irrational troubles and trials
Keep them from moving around
