Today's distraction
World is developing but humans are going towards something weird... They are developing but their minds are developing like something strange.. Today's most threatening matter is about those girls' rapping and kidnapping.. When thinking point comes to note only those who rap girls not only the worst; But the main culprit is the group of girls. Those girl gangs wear...

I didn't Notice
I didn't notice how fast time was going— all the commotion, it's quite the distraction. This perpetual motion, lost in a sea of consumption, all for social devotion. Lacking what we left behind, now chasing dimes with our time. Is it wrong to numb with lights and rums? Moments between moments are what we miss— something as a kid I didn't notice....

Paper, Pencil, and No Distraction
I consider myself a technologically savvy old geezer. With a simple utterance of “Hey Google, show me cute puppy videos” my world is filled with hours of mindless entertainment. I can do Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Linked-In about as well as any old-fashioned Neanderthal. With all this modern-day technology at my fingertips you’d think my...

("Howling Rock" - 2016, Castle Rocks, Idaho) Crying Wolf My phone is set to the tone of a trumpet horn To signal incoming texts And every time it sounds I think of Robin Hood calling out for me. I think he must have been a disciplined And discerning fellow long ago In his Sherwood Forest, Because otherwise the woods would be filled With his call And...

A New Wind
When you change like a new wind taking force too often, it is inevitable that you will lose yourself. Not knowing the true person that is inside. Decisions are folly now; ones I toy with and reassemble. The building is a distraction…because if you build something it’s achievement right? But what if you’re building, knowing...

Distraction
I've been fine. Better than ever. It's been months Since I crashed. Almost years Since I've see A proper Breakdown. I realized For a while He had been My distraction. He was a negative charge Taking on all of mine; I kept the positive. Is that why I held on Longer than I should have? Now I come crashing, The world falling in. The momentary distraction Forever out of reach. The emotions intensify And I wish...

Distractions in eight grade homeroom are complete today As I see the finger shaped glasses on my friend Gray He always pushes the teacher near the edge of the cliff. I see her biting her fingernails, her hair and her lip....

Showtime I'm over here I'll buzz and ping Until you break. Let's do this thing! I flash and chime You'll never rest. Give me attention I am the best I listen in Careless, you share You think me dormant But I'm still there Those secret words I log away Then try to captivate Your cash some day I'm all illusion Subtle distraction If you're suspicious It's just a fraction I never can quite Leave your side Your...

Ennui
More frantic than ever - is it to hide? Could you sit face to face, gazing at truth? Some gear must be siezed up, deep down inside. The ghost-life you live is your purest proof. Do something - anything! - ev'ry second. Too busy! Too booked! Too bad - you can't think. Alas ... ecstasy! Distraction beckoned - So you drift ......

Break On Through
Chasing rabbits, unending distractions Forever falling, upside down actions Limited expectations, traveling hues Sunken ships, washed away clues Face-off illusionary fears, go through Sparkling glamours, fantasy floo Unlocked doors, keys of initiation Bewildering mazes, limitless creation Spoken silences, incognito vibes Natural simplicity, collective tribes *Eagle Sun Ki*...
