New Priority

New Priority

A day and a life
for most folk
goes by in a flash
it is no joke
a charted out route
like a blueprint
memos and copies
in newsprint.
The days have long gone
to be laidback
thanks to our leaders
who are on track
to lead us
right into the cellar
forsaking the heart
for more dollars
a mind independent
and loving
turns out to be
something that's nothing
of any particular value
surface, no substance
derails you.
