A Place Without Views Poem by Damian Cranney

Do not let those who are jealous or mean,
Make you unhappy by creating a scene,
Just because they have a bad disposition,
Shouldn't make you their natural opposition.

Just lately the world has taken off in directions,
that are not that conducive to our health or digestions.
Everyone seems to be unsure or uncertain,
Their future seems hidden behind a dark curtain.

Perhaps they are victims of mass paranoia,
But terrorists abound and are all very real,
So the dangers seem vast but also surreal,
The turmoil is global but the causes aren't noble.

I long for the time when if you wanted you could,
Just take yourself off and get lost in a wood,
And it would not matter which path you would take,
Cos you probably would find yourself next to a lake.

The problem we have today you will find,
Is information overload that disturbs our mind.
It would be great if we could just turn off the news,
And not be aware, and yes not have any views!
