Eyes Thru a Tunnel
no sky overhead, no oceans roar
valleys and mountains are no more
sights and sounds now isolated
only the darkness has been created
no passing lane, no exits ahead
no toll to pay, no stopping to get fed
weather conditions do not impact
must drive on, no turning back
no alternate route, no end in site
no left turns, no red light
slowing down will take too long
keep the speed, drive on
gas tank lighter, miles to go
tires are hot, ready to blow
flashers don’t light, horn is weak
engine light shows, maybe oil leak
cell phone missing, cannot text
now you know, you’ve been hexed
it’s been real, such a jerk
just another day, going to work
