View of the World

Sitting here sipping on steaming coffee.
Restaurant blurred with busy feet.
Masses of consumers standing in uproar.
Malls packed and bodies let off heat.
Compressing facts in little brains.
Noises, glances, affirmation of chaos.
Dozens of eagles flying; advancing.
Looking, seeking, freedoms cast never shines.
Grind up the beans and stew the tea.
Rivers flow up stream with salmon.
The Aurora Borealis of lights show off love.
Dancing ballerinas projecting dreams.
Train station; enter and take a seat.
Listen to the jumble of screaming kids.
Parents no longer paying attention.
Newspaper scandals mixed with made-up.
Social status determines power.
Walk, speak make everything look easy.
Hooded thieves blinded by greed.
Wounded dying and many sick.
Stop the crime and open up your mind.
Sign the guest book of life.
Live without fear of death.
Fly like the eagles in peace and faith.
Keep your head out of the political world,
And let God stay in your heart.
