The Road Map (a pantoum)
If the road map is in the car
Why are we so off course?
Most have differing views of where we are,
Others may say, “consider the source.”
Why are we so off course?
Some lay blame to those in the backseat,
Others may say, “consider the source.”
While others ignore the signs on the street.
Some lay blame to those in the backseat;
The new technology shuts off our mind
While others ignore the signs on the street,
So much riding with the blind.
The new technology shuts off our mind;
Some of us choose to turn around,
So much riding with the blind,
It’s about time the lost are found.
Some of us choose to turn around;
Most have differing views of where we are,
It’s about time the lost are found
If, the road map is in the car.
