The Beautiful People
Spent some time today amongst the beautiful people
In the downtown area of the big city
Everybody rushing about oblivious to their surroundings
Intent on doing what they set out to do
Alone in their own little world
Unaware of hundreds of people passing by
Other people, each with their own agendas
Heading to business meetings, wining and dining clients
Clandestine meetings of secret lovers
All happening before our very eyes
When you live in the burbs, it can be a real eye opener
Surely the clandestine meetings are going on here too
But on a much smaller scale and a much less obvious manner
I don't think it has really changed much over the years
Other than just becoming more overt
The rumour mill is most likely still churning
But the sensationalism is missing
It has become more routine
Well spending time in the big city was a real eye opener
Makes me appreciate my retirement life in the burbs
A WHOLE LOT more!
