Rocks

today's weather: gray with chance of falling rocks
Today I was walking around and noticed someone sitting on a bench biting his fingernails and shaking his left leg. I went along and saw a bunch of people
by a tree smoking weed. I kept along some more and noticed a girl crying hysterically into a bunch of crumpled tissues. I noticed a psychiatrist sitting outside his office with a sign written in red with two words "help schism". At his feet was an assortment of different legal narcotics that got dispensed depending on the situation. He kept picking up one bottle at a time and letting the rainbow of  colored pills just slide through his fingers and cascade into a pyramid onto the floor. Behind him we can see that his office that was once proud is now in shambles adorned by pretty flowers or weeds depending on which side of the coin you are on today. The distant look in his red rimmed tired eyes let you know that he's gone elsewhere. What is going on? Everyone seems
to be stressed out and anxiety ridden running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Are our heads cut off? Has society gotten so complicated that
we are not able to cope with it anymore or are we just not emotionally wired for the future? The one's who help may sometimes need help too and they don't know where to go.
Hey, we have a drug for that! Is the food that we eat killing us or has life just become a giant conspiracy for drug companies? Too many questions, not enough answers. In my years in
this place I've learned that we can only control how we behave towards others and ourselves. If you realize that you can create something you should also
realize that you can stop it. The next time I see someone in that state I am going to stop and try to help.
In the meantime I will lament through song and poem so that even one person might feel that they are not alone:
"Why am I always tired
Always cold and uninspired
Is it the air that I breathe
or the things that I believe?"
