Intermission 911

A vignette on society/mankind.

Appreciate everything and everyone in your life, whether big or small, enemy or friend, if it matters or doesn't matter. Most importantly, hold on to your tomorrow, and cherish it under lock & key.

Sadly though, we as a society tend to pick that same lock…we dance in the deceit of our unkempt promises.

Why is it that it always takes tragedy for us to come together? The blooming of a mushroom cloud to unify? And why does it only take the shockwaves of war & suffering to wake us from an ignorant sleep?

When will our cue to change finally surface? When will it be our intermission as a species to truly evolve?

The more I look, the greater the distortion…though this key of mine---my tomorrow---will stay clasped firmly around my neck.
