Sitting here drinking coffee
Watching as people scurry
From one place to another
Little time for each other
Empathy and compassion lacking
From their schedule hardly slacking
I often wonder how they would react
To the ultimate siren's wail in fact

Would they re-discover their humanity
Would their behaviour change suddenly
Would they rush to the ones they love
Would they raise their eyes to the heavens above

I envision complete anarchy
Sudden conversions to piety
Ignorance becoming short lived bliss
Fear taking hold after this
Madness and mayhem takes hold
Of everyone young and old
What would I do you ask me?
I'd just sit here and finish my coffee!
