Nowhere

A little girl sat 
On a big flat rock
Out in the middle of nowhere.

She sat and she watched
As the people ran by
Out in the middle of nowhere.

The people, they ran all over the town
Some laughing, some smiling
And some wore a frown.

The little girl asked them all to sit down
But they were too busy running around
Each one taking their place in the town
To notice a little girl on a big, flat rock
Out in the middle of nowhere.

This is outstanding...it is outstanding because the simplicity of the write is also very complicated..such deep meaning behind these words...I wonder if anyone ever noticed that little girl..love this.
