This is needed, that is wanted

Time is wasting, age is flaunting

She don't listen, he don't care

No ones paying attention.

Screams flare through the cell phones

Tantrums thrown in the kitchen

What consequences?

Their lives are convenient

Micro wave, stove, Frigidaire, faucets

All runs fluently quenching every thirst.

Un-comfort is being pacified

Like lazy parents

Force feeding satisfaction

Elimination companionship

Introductions will be needed

If attendance continue like this

Here’s a fraction in your measurements

Gun shot, blown tire, screeching car, semi truck

All ending in a collapse of time

Now

Home is needed, love is wanted, time is all I  have

She listens, he cares, everyone's paying attention

Cries of worries flare thru the cell phones

To families as the kettle on the stove screams completion

For alertness to be poured in the cups of patients

Waiting to be notified of survival

A schedule for pick up arrivals

Convenience morphs from necessity to luxury

An antique that can no longer be afforded

Family is more important

Forever only last 24 hours until hands pile on twelve

The morning session

Tragedy has a gift of offering a lesson in life

And a fault in becoming a life long lesson
