Herd Mentality

Often I hear people complain about the simplest of things In seemingly going insane with the little details life brings Perhaps it's the traffic or a long line at the grocery store Just take your own pick for I know there are a lot more When we have so much as compared to other countries We seemed to have lost touch with what the eye sees For so many have far less but rarely will they complain For they don't see it as mess but they still feel the pain Their lines are much longer even to just get some water Oh if I was a bit stronger waiting in line to place my order Having to wait a whole hour for a doctors appointment You wouldn't be sour knowing most of them never went Sitting there at that red light just waiting for it to turn My goodness, such a plight as we never seem to learn What will a big storm do If ripples can rock your boat We need to act more like a sheep and less like a goat
