    WATCHING AS THE WORLD GOES BY

    Watching,watching as the world goes by,
    Some waiting their turn,others too self-
    absorbed to try.
    Some sit and boast of angst and pain,yet all
    they do is sit,
    How can you receive a quick kick to your rear
    when you never get off of it.
    So caught up in your shade,that your tirade
    loses all it's meaning,
    As your anger fades,the truth cascades,down
    from the glass ceiling.
    You still share in the righteousness of all
    your people,
    Though your attempts to affect change are
    painfully feeble.
    And change does'nt come,so you get with your
    friends and complain,
    That's all you do come and plainly just sit,
    Watching,watching as the world goes by.

    Well written didactic type. Now needs a talented guitarist and a great singer of the blues, with a few adaptations here and there for the music My rating is a full 10.

    Wow, this spoke to me. I think everyone can relate to this. So often we sit and dream or imagine of what could be, but for whatever reason we are not motivated to succeed. My Fav line was your opening: "Watching,watching as the world goes by, Some waiting their turn,others too self-absorbed to try." I wanted to keep reading more after that.... Can I get some snapps in here?

    The world is full of watchers, those that succeed at the highest level are people of action. Thanks for the comment!
