Poetic Podcast Episode 4

People are looking for a reason, 
they don’t want to backtrack;  
When an environment is toxic 
they indulge in a new pandemic; 

People are looking for something more 
give them something to work for;
Take away the motive 
you’re left with a constant ‘Why?’

When you create a cyclone 
it inevitably spins out of control; 
An employee shortage 
stems from a shortage of soul;

It’s a new dance 
one I am willing to learn,
Maybe if we do it with some purpose, 
it will create a little more love;

Come back to a memory?
Eyes weren’t made to look back;
The environment is toxic; 
A shortage of soul, the new pandemic.
