Drifting to what is right..

As the group of
people were
talking at
the table
I was not really
listening.
I was
letting my
thoughts
wander.
Lately
all
this noise,
is just
that.
Noise.
I used to
have to
make myself
drift,
but at my age
right now,
you might
call it exhaustion...
its easy.
None of this
matters.
What matters
right now
to me are not
the words
coming out
of their mouths.
The ugliness
that at times
they do not
realize that
they are spreading
around.
How about
this I want to say,
If you can not
make someones
life better, It
really does not
matter.
If you can't save
someone who
is dying
all of this means
nothing.
If you are taking
more than
you need,
You are the problem.
How small we have
become,
Making sure that
we get what is
ours,
Our share.
As my thoughts
drift
I drift to
what is right
in my heart.
I look around
and see a mother
smiling at their
child.
I hear laughter.
I think of
how little I
require
and how spoiled
people have become.
I am glad
that I am able
to drift.
At times
I wish
I could drift
away.
