Pay attention!

tetrameter sonnet

Pay attention!

 

We see but all too frequently

Pay little heed to what we see.

We also hear selectively

We function automatically.

Although aware subconsciously

of everything we hear or see

Which poses threats to our safety

We can react instantaneously.

Prepare to act defensively

Responding instinctively

To any thing that seems to be

 a threat to our security

Our conscious mind assumes control

With safety as it only goal.
