Cute, creative story ya got here. I enjoyed!

>The listless crowd of lotus eaters
>shuffle off in search of a meal
>wearing expressionless faces
>unable to perceive what is real
>
>driven to feed on the lotus petal
>though in truth it doesn�t exist
>but the lotus eaters have forgotten
>and search beyond truth�s mist
>
>in the land of self inflicted illusion
>made of concrete, glass, and steel
>where escape is the drug of choice
>and none really cares how others feel
>
>yet the lotus eaters forage on
>for no other path do they know
>standing on the corners of life
>waiting for the lotus to show
