This poem is inspired by the fact that we all rush around in business, like hamsters in a never ending always turning wheel, no direction, just running because life is there. But we should never forget that outside the window, beyond the city streets is a beauty that we can enjoy and experience.

This is particularly relevant as I was in a hot stuffy London office while writing this, and all I could see was glorious sun outside. Just thought I'd share my thoughts and feelings...

Outside, sun is hot
Inside, skin is cool
Working 24:7
Nature beckons the fool

Why do we push
On doors not there?
Why do we hold to one
And hardly ever share?

In a world of commerce
Profits always rule
Circling the planet
Nature beckons the fool

Why do we scream
When everything goes red?
Why do we cry
At actions never said?

Joyfulness outside the window
Obsession with the office tool
Persistence is the key to business
Nature beckons the fool

Why do we search
And always go for gain?
Why do we conflict
And make a life of pain?

Sneakily, time slips by
Too soon the day is through
And what to show for it?
Nature beckons the fool

I long for the blue/green horizon
Give up life in duel
Feel the sun, rules abandon
And be nobody’s fool.
