[Today’s Daily Obstruction is in the form of a philosophical poem. Because why not?]
Life Passes You By as You Busy Yourself With More Important Things
If a breeze rustles through the leaves of a tree,
But everyone has their earbuds in,
Does it make a gentle sound?
If a bird sings a song,
But everyone is on the phone,
Does it sing as sweet?
If the sun bestows its light,
But everyone is in offices beneath the florescent glow,
Does it care?
If I am here
And you are there,
Do I love you less or more?
If the world goes about its daily chores
Without even a glance at Nature,
Will it one day wake up to discover
Life is as real as it is rare?
