Too Careful

Operating from our corridors in this oasis We sit or stand concerned about passers by To wave farewell or badmouth To smile clearly or grumpy In this globe full of confused folks With catastrophes hinged on sentimental posts Bigotry borne of greed and jealousy Hard faces masked with friendliness As handshakes extend beyond the elbows We carefully watch out for falling rocks On our canopies we expect them to litter The slightest noise we stand at an attention Seem too careful but helpless Cus out of luck we huddle over thorns to step on thistles We crawl beneath sight into quicksands we drop Just mean to say Carefulness is just an avoidance of blame Only God could have taken us this far
