Absent Minds



Gone.
Lost.
Never for many ever to find.
No matter the wait,
It takes for them to stand in long lines.
With a hoping that money,
Promised to come and end...
An agony for them to mend and cure,
That empty feeling felt inside.

Not to know, comprehend or understand,
When minds unused...
To abuse and lose.
Long left abandoned!?
Of its purpose to value.

There is nothing to identify or say.
Worthy of rescue.
Or save to renew.
As if to rejuvenate.
With patience and time to bring back to life.

Not even wealth of money can fix,
A mind absent of thought.
Gone.
Lost.
And replaced to escape away from reality!
No one aware of what is not there,
Will take their time to waste...
Attempting to make others,
Understand to comprehend...
All the money had in the World to have it,
Can never be measured to treasure...
Against common sense and a mind used.
No matter how much money one has.
Or the power they believe,
Keeps people attracted to accept...
Ignorance and its stupidity,
As a main goal in their lives to reach.
Done to mistreat others thoughtlessly!

Gone.
Lost.
Never for many ever to find,
Sanity.
Without vanity.
Ego to feed or narcissism to flaunt.
In times when people seem more to want,
Truth and genuine honesty.
From the top to the bottom.
Around and down on Earth found.
