Walking, Walking Singing in the New Dimension? 1979 by Marris Graves

Awakening to the world
Feeling human
A thanksgiving prayer
And life was good
Daily crackle onslaught
Too early
Disturbing my spirit
So life became bad
Suck in sharp irritability
Quick retaliation
To unnecessary remarks
Interpreted as criticism
Change of hairstyle
Good last night
Cannot ever compensate
When clothes don’t fit
Fumes from bumper to
Bumper traffic
Impatience of drivers
Road rage abounds
Suffocating heat makes
Noise even louder
As the city
Springs to life
Different ethnic groups
Unbearably sullen
Step over homeless
Asleep on pavements
Cool of my sanctuary
Behind office door
Down the valium
Pink aura protects

An amazing collection of thoughts, reactions, musings, reflection ....
ReplyDeleteA range of human emotions! At least the day started well !
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good interpretation of the range of human conditions. We can be happy and content in our own little world. But then we realize the human condition of so many and it is difficult to comprehend. Very thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteSmart and savvy; quite compelling...
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so real, so honest. Very few of us are naturally altruistic - good days and bad . . .
ReplyDeleteyou described my working days when living in a heavily
ReplyDeletepopulated area perfectly....except for the valium!
well done Bee!
You conveyed the reality perfectly, Bee...
