Writing in Snow

Another distraction: December 21, 2012

It is just another distraction,
A worry to terrorize our souls,
The fear of impending destruction,
It stops us achieving our goals.

A worry to terrorize our souls,
Takes our focus away from our jobs,
It stops us achieving our goals,
Moreover, our peace of mind it robs.

Takes our focus away from our jobs,
The fear of impending destruction,
Moreover, our peace of mind it robs,
It is just another distraction.
