The Thoughtless Bus Journey

I sit amongst you
But you don't know
I try to imagine where you go
Or where you have been
Is life good to you?
Or do you wear a fake skin?
Are you happy to be here?
Or do you just not care?
Are you thinking like me?
About the other in front?
Or more important issues?
Or so you think they are
Are you thinking of poems?
Or saving the world?
I can't digest how small
You look to me now
But how big you probably think you are
Or how you will have an affect 
On my existence
Good luck on your path
Do your best to benefit mine
Even though you will never know
What an impact you will create
Your gone
And so are the thoughts

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
