All Work

Out on the heated tarmac Sounds of multiple aircraft engines Fumes from the planes Lung clogging matter inhaling Sporadic glow from the sun Through skies filled with clouds Dancing beside and around each other Like a great spread of grazing sheep Happy passengers boarding their on-time-flight Security alert! Be extra vigilant Man your post, observe all things strange Who are they kidding? It’s me, not them, if I have any say in the matter Certainly not them and I Since I would have long been gone They say in a security emergency Stand at your post I say, run, run, run The first life you save should be your own Think I am selfish Try standing before someone Who does not value their own life With chest filled with organic matter Wires attached to a timer They say stand at your post I say you would better, run, run, run
