Stand back

Stand back and watch the world, the  noisy encroaching herd

Stand and watch the crazy ways, the hoard that steals our simple days

Stand and listen to the story unfold of progress and the price we’ll pay

Do you hear the changes in the polluted air

Tip toeing into your daily ways

Creeping at first they develop a trot, a little here, a little more there,  not changing much, you barely notice 

Stand back and watch the world, listen to the gallop that thunders in your ears buds 

 Listen as life speeds up around you,  

Listen as you’re instructed what to do

Stand back my friends and nothing will change

Stand up instead let simplicity remain
