Living Without a Creative Thought

I watch the world go by People rushing here and there All looking the same Drinking the same coffee Reading the same news from the same papers Going everywhere and going nowhere Lost in their own world Only hearing what they want to hear Seeing what they are told to see Their minds are long lost Never having a creative thought Imagination died in childhood They live in a world of suits and rules Meetings and million dollar deals Concerned only with making money They don’t see the beauty of a rainbow They ignore the music of a hummingbird’s wings They don’t look up to see the clouds, the stars or the northern lights Nor do they smell the sweetness of a new baby’s breath They live in a world of their own making Never knowing the reality around them They don’t know what they are missing And sadly they never will
