light . The wheels squeal the little strip of rubber remains on the
road and as you get to the next light ~ and hear the sirens
coming from a direction you aren't quite sure of you look to the
right and notice the car that just passed you and another that is now
around a utility pole and the side drivers side dented in .
People rushing to get no where fast.
Kids thinking they are all that and more with their hot rod 4
cylinder pieces of fiberglass and aluminum .
Children having sex to prove they are grown up . Children having
children to prove they are adults . Babies suffering and falling into
the system. Some slipping between the cracks.
Child protection gets calls about mama for 10 years ~ for 10 years
they do nothing
The baby grows up going from shelter to shelter , living off family ,
living off friends.
Then the friends go away . Mama gets her next fix of meth and goes
back to jail and the child is shuffled off to
someone ...else ......again.
Everyone rushing by , no one looking at what is happening.
Adults doing drugs to prove they are still young Children doing
drugs to prove they are mature and able to handle it .
The doctors are writing prescriptions in hope to cure the world or
maybe to get a kickback on the newest drug .
Pharmacists fill them without knowing that the person who paid won't
take one of those pills but sell them on the corner to someone else.
People rushing by and not bothering to see that the pain they feel
could be cured by a hug ~
people not stopping to see that the smile they didn't give is one
they didn't get .
Hurry here , Rush there , no time to stop , no time to breath . No
time to smile or time to see. No time for love no time for grief.
Stop , Breath, Breath again . It will all be there tomorrow.
