Living in a world of blazoned speed
Having trouble making sense of it all
Unrecognizable trends gazing into nothingness
And no manual to guide us
Current job descriptions shudder performance
Destination’s road connecting all points
Taking our offices with us where ever we go
Irrational discussions keeping boundaries and space
Skilled labor riddled with uncertainties
Formed amid prevailing existential confusion
Arising from the rubble
Interactive communities birthing surround sounding spirituality
Modes and politics, to economic growth
Interdependence grown in micro structures
Does it make any sense?
Was it wild card race?
Or pastoral care development
Engineered by Fox television
Leaders keep on their toes, moving teams of men
Who are no longer home grown.
Automatically obsolete by informational flaws
Postmodern leaders rebuilding all they can get
By embracing the young and opened gates
Of unlearning all that was educated
Less qualified economics call us the home of the brave
Outwardly mobile, here I stand,
From hi fi to stereo, professing conservative
Think future but planning backward
Is our modern technique
Pick apart any creative thinking
Fearing word images
Linear to leadership
Turning the headlights off
From sea to shining sea our children
Doing penance in a trunk in the attic
While the Pentagon hunt Osama bin Laden
And key terrorists from the Middle East
Living among the wounded in the Big Apple
While four Rwandans face trial

LeeJ,
The face in the mirror frightens you. Never fear, the world is still here.
