Look closer
Every day the same damn things,
Rushing people,
The chaos it brings.
‘Just slow down’ I long to yell
They’d never hear me,
Over this hell.
Where are they going?
Where’s the fire?
What’s the use?
The outlook’s dire.
I just sit back and
Let them go
Their troubles pass
And overflow.
I was once where
They are, a rat among
The great and now I make
My own destiny, I control
My fate.
I pick and choose
As they all trail by,
My next victim, the one
Who is next to die.
‘Ignorance is bliss’ they say
Well not this time, look closer
At the attention you pay.
