We Are Not Alone

We Are Not Alone Where are we going? Rushing around Going everywhere and ending up nowhere Do we have to move so fast? Eating undercooked hamburgers and supersized Cokes We do not talk to each other We never notice the person standing right beside you Even families talk through email and texts Too busy to sit and talk even for a minute Strangers and family remain strangers It is like we are a civilization of one Six billion independent souls who need no one We do not notice the world that we live in The sun rises and sets in beautiful colors We never notice the sky unless we’re caught in a storm Flowers share their natural beautiful colors Their scents fill the air but no one stops to enjoy them Life moves too fast for anything as trivial as that We should take a moment and stop Just one moment to notice the people we share Earth with Stop and smell just one flower on the side of a building In that moment you will know that there is a world out there A planet of life for you to experience And you will realize that you are not alone
