TRAVELERS

TRAVELERS
Hustle bustle
Walking so fast
Looking for guidance
As if lost
Dragging belongings behind
In containers of all kinds
Confusion on faces
What time? Where?
Rudeness is abundant
Smiles turn to frowns
Deciding to go through
ID’s required
Removing shoes
Taking out computers
Dumping the change
Don’t forget to turn off the cell phone
As bodies pass through
Will the green turn to red?
Motioned to the side
Herded like cattle
Scanned for metal
Patted down to make sure
Confusion turns to frustration
Hurriedly rushed to the next location
Finally a seat found
Next to a screaming child
Lights begin to flash
The air takes over
Soaring through the sky
 
A destination soon to be reached
