No Lifeguard on Duty
There's no lifeguard on duty where I sit
There is only me
and all of those who ignore the signs
There are those who are burying each other in the sand
One right after the other
Never taking the time
Or chance
To look at what they are doing
Or where they are at
There are those who are running in the sand
Making it difficult
To get anywhere they are going
On this never ending beach
There are those who swim out
Past where their feet can touch
As they get bombarded by waves
Taking the chance
Of never making it back
Because they can't stand the sight of this place
Here I sit on this beach
With all it's signs
Paying attention
To the most important one of them all
There is no lifeguard on duty
To save any of us
If things go horribly wrong
