Awareness is lacking
Don't you know?
Moving too fast to think
About present times.
Those around us die,
Their lives unknown
But do others care?
Too worried about
What nonsense awaits.
Strangers on the bus
Are nothing but
Background noise.
Fear keeps us from
Each other daily
But do we want to
Know each other?
Maybe? Not really.
It is a nice idea
To be more present
In our time.
And when it's too late
Is when we'll realize.
