Really



It’s amazing to me
That we can’t see
The need and desire to be free

It’s simple to be
The commonality

Break the chains
That bind your reins

To do no less
Would be insane

Seriously you don’t care?
Is that hopelessness in the air?

Why so sad? you feeling glum?
You just realize you’re a working bum?

It’s ok to feel sad
But much better to get mad

Anger shows your alive
Complacency inhibits our ability to thrive

Turn off the P’s
Phones, Pads, and PC’s

Disconnect and reflect

Look around
Listen to the sound
Don’t be lost
Be found

Eric (and sometimes not)
