Sunday Night Poetry - Walking
Walking, we never do enough
Too caught up driving, missing the human touch
Flipping the bird, road rage, acting tough
I'd rather smile and nod, happy without no clutch
You're watching trees zoom past
Instead of letting your mind wander and wonder
Take it a step at a time and you'd have a blast
A step at a time, there's plenty to ponder
The fastlane is no place for me
Taking it slow, pounding the pavement
Like you, I've got things to do, places to be
Comfortable with myself, while you use your car as a statement
Take a moment, take a walk, or a hike
Maybe then you will find appreciation
In all the small things that grace your sight
While using your feet as transportation
Obesity isn't an issue, you're just lazy
Insecure, so you by an SUV
Eat from the land, clear your mind and bend your knees
Insecure, you're no better than me
You can make someone's day, by merely smiling their way
But you got angry when someone switched lanes
On the road, your lane is my lane
It's the game we play
You forgot how to say hello to strangers
You forgot how to clear your mind
You forgot about what really matters
You forgot about the joys of walking
