There is a prison that’s called freedom by its owner.

There is a story that’s called truth by a liar.

There is outrage that’s called civil by a demagogue.

There is a castle in the air that’s denying gravity

There are dead end streets that never lead to Rome

Where beauty is a face that looks like Silicon Valley

Where clickbait is a business model sold as creativity

There is a refugee thats named data in the Matrix

and she wants to go home.

(Thank you Prince for inspiring me with the lyrics from the song Welcome To America)

To be connected and being connected can be of a completely different nature.

To be in touch, getting in touch and a physical touch can be worlds apart.

An introspective gaze does not necessarily mean you are soul searching.

Title is inspired by the comedy Seinfeld.

If only we had wings and winged words that could fly us everywhere

If only we could save our last treads of evaporating fantasy

A free flight to the middle of nowhere

We will compensate, 

later.
