Do you ever watch people?
Do you ever watch them and see?
What they choose to do with their lives
Hurrying around with people to see and things to do?
There is a bench in a park on the trail I walk where I sit and watch as people walk by.
I don't look into the park at smiling families or kids playing or smiling happy faces.
I turn and watch the street behind the park,
Where traffic sits and horn honks and people yell and hurry in and out of shops.
Going about their day
Rushing around others.
I wonder if they know how blind they are.
How blind we all are.
Watch the girl pulling her kids along
The screams of an eight year old being dragged for he didn't get the toy he wanted.
The crying of a toddler who needed to be fed an hour ago.
The girl who roughly pushes past people trying to get into the bank before it closes.
The man who honks his horn at someone taking too long.
The kids shouting in excitement over the toy the got in their happy meal.
Yet none of this matters.
It's just a normal day.
