a boy
sits, staring off into the distance.
the setting sun slowly silhouettes him.
night comes and yet he still stares.
a man
walks, never stoping for a look
always just gives a quick glance
never seeing any of the details
an elder
lays, for his feet are sore
his days are growing short.
yet he does not worry.
a girl
looks, not at another but at herself.
the mirror is her best friend
she uses it to hide all of her pain.
.a woman
talks, her cell phone by her side.
gossip and lies spread like fire.
they make her feel stronger.
a family
apart, in all that they do
the dinner table is empty
they hardly know one another.
a community
complains, the grass is not green enough
making pety demands just to annoy
none of it really makes a difference.
a nation
debates, who will be a better leader?
attacking every small problem.
little things that shouldnt matter
a world,
split, different ideas cause hostile reactions
war and hate as far as one can see.
few are searching for peace
an insect
understands, the world is not his
but he belongs to the world.
he sees the beauty that is offered.
