Wondering How Poem by Margaret Alice Second

I know why busy people don't have problems: they
have no time to think - a head without thoughts - an
empty mind never wasting time to surmise what can
go wrong: busy people has one specific virtue - one
code of ethics: work, work, work; morning, noon &
night, no family life, integrity based on one thing:

Achievement, victory through back-breaking work;
no place for wondering about meaning or beauty, art
and creativity; busy people don't think about the why
of Right and Wrong - never see that Right represents
everything that furthers their personal goals - while
Wrong represents all the obstacles in their path

Everything that hinders achievement of objectives,
though they don't know why these were chosen as
the goals - the less active, pensive person sees the
world from above, outside the situation wondering
how the status quo came about, how people got so
busy they don't even notice how they burn up time

And live in the emptiness of inapplicable ideas, not
using the criteria of utility and logic to measure the
assumptions that govern their activities, accepting
whatever they have inherited, protecting routine by
never trying out new things, never questioning the
status quo as that would waste their precious

Production time, discipline is the first requirement
of a happy life - the question why we are born and
what the universe means is deemed irrelevant and
left to thinkers who can't fit in…
