Too Busy

In the hub of action
strangers’ faces
pass by in a blur
rushing and racing
too busy to connect
smiles in absentia
their on switch off
most probably
conserving energy
overwhelmed
exhausted
barely keeping up
with the pace
of living

Not workaholics, but what...Maybe stressedoutholics...They will soon overtake Cathaholic, lol, in number, as there will be no more lay members left for the clergy to sexually abuse. Ouch! The truth hurts, I am afeard...Those bums get no mercy from me. They have ruined countless lives, in the name of WHAT..Sorry for the rant there, my friend. ~ gw
