Distraction
I need, I want, I crave a distraction.
A distraction from the mundane, the Constant
struggle & the pain.
I know it is the same daily problems we all must
deal with...But, I need a Distraction!
Even for a day or a hour.
An hour would give me a reason to ignore the idiot
in front of me with,
the blinker on for 7 miles.
A Hour would help me forget that although the
lane I choose at the grocery store says,
"Express Lane 10 items or less" the man in front of
me in this line has choose to have exactly 23 items
plus, a pack of gum he picked up near the cashiers
register.
That hour gives me the patience to almost notice
that he didn't have to shuffle through his stupid
little purse full of coupons to figure out he didn't
have the matching items for them.
A distraction from the mundane, the Constant
struggle & the pain.
I know it is the same daily problems we all must
deal with...But, I need a Distraction!
If I had a distraction maybe I could try to forget
the fact that I just paid nearly extremely too much
at the gas pump because of a war that majority of
my country isn't sure who & why we are fighting.
I need a distraction from seeing homeless chased
away by police from begging for change, yet the
homeless shelters are so, over-filled and
under-funded that, the homeless are charged to
take shelter within them.
A distraction from the mundane, the Constant
struggle & the pain.
I know it is the same daily problems we all must
deal with...But, I need a Distraction!
