These Days

Waiting - We're always waiting
Events you can't construe
Engaging - delegating
An inference you drew
Searching the bigger picture
Trying to second guess
Bending under every stricture
Hoping to impress

These Days - You wonder why
These Days - It's hard to cry
These Days - Just seem to pass on by

Patience may seem a virtue
But daily it gets tried
Actions I must attend to?
Or push them to the side
Meanings, a garbled mystery
The clarity opaque
Stories and ancient history
Should they bend or break?

These Days - You wonder why
These Days - It's hard to cry
These Days - Just seem to pass on by

Creating - we're always creating
Ignorance is bliss
Statements and all debating
Are always hit & miss
Thriving? Or just surviving?
Comedy or farce?
Mindless, just keep on driving
We could end up on Mars..

These Days - You wonder why
These Days - It's hard to cry
These Days - Just seem to pass on by
