Beautiful Day For a Drive

Beautiful day for a drive
Ruined when we stop for gas
Polluted by loud offensive music
Espousing lots of anger

I wonder how anyone can listen to this
Let alone share it by having it up so loud
As we drive past this car I notice a crying baby
I imagine her ears and her mind hurt

So sad what is being fed to a child’s spirit
I think of this for a few minutes
Then notice the gorgeous sky
And lean back to fully enjoy a beautiful day
