The Great Break Down

(Jaquith 2013)

Things break,

fall down,

get lost in the shuffle,

and any number of other clichés

But what happens

when we fall down,

get lost in the shuffle,

lose out way and can’t “come up for air”?

When we reach out a hand

only to be left alone, standing

crying out for help

but no one understands the words

Looking in

You see what you see

Take what you need

And leave me here

Broken, alone

and in need of friend

Here we struggle

In a world that has lost its compassion

Has more to take

And less to give

A thousand times a day

Lost

No regret

Always moving forward

A brave new world

At 3% per year

Growth without a cost

Alone, crying out for change.
