ABOUT FOCUS

When your focus on existence becomes about the things you own
     and the pleasure of the moment gets pre-empted by a phone,
When you recognize your world of colors turning monotone,
     do you ponder the unknown?  

When pattern keeps repeating and becomes your life routine
     so everything seems yin or yang with nothing in between,
When you recognize the world around you having turned obscene,
     are you following your dream?  

When novels, art or music are pre-empted by remote control
     and the more you try to change your life, the deeper looks your hole,
When you sense the way you're headed doesn't lead to any goal,
     do you wonder of your soul?  

When your focus of attention is immediate in need
     and the cause of present tension stems from pursuing greed,
When you recognize selfishness as the priority you heed,
     is it time to intercede?  

When your focus on the here and now is all that you envision ,
     versus where you wish to get to and how every next decision
almost certainly impacts your eventual position,
     is your path toward any mission?  

Reality is just a collective hunch--not black or white, but gray.
     It's time to get a focus where you wish to be some day,
or a time will come when you may find it impossible to say
     if you've ever found your way.
