Times Square Musings

So many people

so unawares;

crowd-sourced consumption

with the shallowest of cares!

The bright lights will blind you

to the suffering and trials

that shuffle on by

all the selfies and smiles.

Can we not stop and see

what our leaders have done?

Shall we put down our phones?

there’s a fight to be won!

So care for the widow

the stranger, the poor

and help out the homeless

and open a door

to a house, and a home

and a cycle that breaks;

your action starts now

as they’re raising the stakes!
