Destination


I got in a car wreck once.  
Could have died, but walked away.
I moved on, got a new car
And am heading towards my destination.
I keep passing other wrecks along the way,
Not surprising in a world where everyone
Moves forward with tunnel vision I suppose.
Thing is, there’s people in these vehicles.
I offer a ride, of course, but so few
Seem to accept where they are.
They would rather
Pound the steering wheel in frustration
And try to somehow will themselves forward.
Do they not realize, in doing so, they’ve
Made a wreck,
In a vehicle which was only
Only temporary to begin with
And serves no function at all now,
Their destination?

really enjoyed this, and while you are thoughtful you also understand, people are right where they are supposed to be on their journeys....good one.
