Part III

9-2-13

 

I think she's grateful there's people out there like me

Curious, we are, about her

 

Wondering now we can help her

And her friend, Mother Nature

 

Instead of covering the ground with cigarette ashes

Dressed as innocent, pretty little flower girls

 

Choking the green lovely grass

Acting as the reaper

Demanding a death wish on her friend already

 

Blaming it on stress

Until we see salt and pepper fields

 

Instead of being the norm, she's grateful

That we don't throw our useless junk into the sea

Drowning all the life there is

 

Smothering life and having busy schedules

Having schedules too full

To forget about life

No free time with our own sweet little families

Schedules asking too much of

To cast life off to the side

To only worry about ourselves

We only worry about what society thinks of us

 

And soon, we'll all be robots

Choking the life out of life

And all life will be gone

If not gone already
