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)
