currentless

I hear swooshes.
Cars rushing by.
Road is empty.
I see the platform of the grey road and look up.
I see the skeleton of old trees.
I see the light blue sky and the radiant glows of bright orange rays.

I wonder,
I should be thankful for this life I have.
What about the deaf and blind?
In this moment there are others
Struggling to gasp for their last breath.
Humans who scream as they fight a terrible regime which hunts with rifles.
Humans who scream as they fight a captor who
Rapes and has knives at their throats.

But I have become selfish.
There are others who would give anything to live the life I have.
And they would make good use of it.

I lay stationary.
I see the platform of the grey road and look up.

Today
I missed the crisp breeze.
I missed the warmth of orange rays.
I missed the sight of green trees, green leaves, green grass.
I missed friendship.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I am taking life for granted and it is sad.
