A Different Way of Looking / paypal.me/aircrashdetectives
2 bottles of milk
Sitting on the doorstep
Waiting for the silk
To tell the judge and jury
How much Mr. McBride
Regrets
His actions
On that cold winter night
In 1973
She had the power
To forgive and forget
Like an amnesty
Seeing as she couldn’t
Possibly
Understand what led to
His misguided
Misplaced
Misconstrued
Reaction
To another
Missed opportunity
That belonged to another
Era
And right here
Right now
He needed mercy
On the error
Of His ways
And he believes
That you will
See them too
If you are not too busy to
Consider
Contrition
Conflict resolution
As straight arrows
Fly south
With the migrating birds
Looking for warmer
More welcoming weather
Because they deserve it
They work hard
And should be rewarded
More handsomely
As those
Pulling shifts
Pulling pints
Pulling my legs
Out from under me
Yet again
Before Inertia
Sets in
Takes over the life
And times
Of ordinary people
Whose only claim
To fame
Is that they are indeed
Ordinary
It is tough to look at
A train-wreck
Truncated on a
Train track
Where the destination
Is predetermined
And you think you are
Going to one place
End up in another
Perhaps it is the perfect
Time
To look at things differently
Before the opportunity
Passes by
Yet again
Without change
To a system
That is inherently
Unfair
Unjust
Underwhelming
To the people
It serves
