Requiem for a Dream
All You Who Sleep Tonight
All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right
And emptiness above -
Know that you aren't alone
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one,
And some for all their years.

Mallesh,
It is not cynicism, it is empathy. People are not alone in feeling lonely... how is that a cynical thought?
Guns,
No, it is quite an old book. It is a collection of poetry by Seth.
