TODAY

TODAY I’ve been picked apart
Franchised
Zip locked
And computerized

There were cell phones
And dead lines
Committee meetings
And warning signs

Corporate policies
And brainstorms
More procedures
And endless forms

So tomorrow I’ll need the mountains
The oceans and the wood
The sunshine and the fields
The festivals, and all things good

“Beware the barrenness of the busy life.”- Socrates
“Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams, seeking grace in every step he takes.”- John Denver
