Look Out

look out

look out of the window

look out of the window

away from the phone or the book or the

screen

look out of the window

away from the phone or the book or the

screen and watch the land pass by

 

a land full of luscious

green

with cows and sheep and horses

grazing

and the farmers tending to the land and

herding the cattle and riding on the

tractor and the sun is bright that day

 

look out

look out of the window

look out of the window

away from the phone or the book or the

screen

look out of the window

away from the phone or the book or the

screen and watch the land pass by

 

the grass doesn’t grow

here anymore

the cows and the sheep and the horses

lie on the ground

sleeping for a day

a month

a year

an eternity

 

don’t look out

don’t look out of the window

don’t look out of the window

away from the phone or the book or the

screen

don’t look out of the window

away from the phone or the book or the

screen and watch the land pass by

 

hide from reality in all its

horror

hide from the cows and the sheep and the horses

who are merely a legend of a

time gone by

stay in the shell of another

world

a world where the sun still shines

and the grass still grows

please

please

draw the blinds
