Yesterday’s news <br />Is a blur to me <br />Because you see <br />I did not read… <br />I was too busy <br /> <br />Too busy with my own <br />Dilemmas to speculate <br />Too busy to contemplate <br />All the events of late… <br />Fretful of fate <br /> <br />Avoiding backward glances <br />Afraid of succumbing <br />To the gloom that is coming <br />Reeling with speed…running <br />Leery of promises from the cunning <br /> <br />Days unload fading numbers <br />Words have dried into dreary doubt <br />The news turns and twists about <br />Trusting people now angrily shout <br />Speculators wearily sink and pout <br /> <br />Today it is clear <br />That the future is taking a turn <br />No longer on a climb…what is learned? <br />Spending more than what is earned <br />Leads to a crash and burn… <br /> <br />10/18/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fading-into-numbers/
