As I rode through my city,

I thought of cell phones.
Very few individuals that I saw didn't have one
plastered to their face or to to their fingertips.
Such social dependency on such a worthless device
that I'd much rather see smashed on the pavement.
I wish for everyone to look up from their iPods and iPhones
Look around and enjoy the beauty of life
Have an early morning conversation, heart to heart
without a microcomputer playing the part of the middleman

I thought of fashion.
It seems to have become such an extension of who we are.
I understand the art of expression and everyone wanting to be different.
But to be different doesn't mean to wear exactly what everyone else
in your "subculture" is wearing.
Don't dress to impress, Dress for comfort and warmth.
It has also become a sign of social status.
I don't buy into it.

I thought of women.
So many beautiful figures and profiles.
I could love them all.
But how many wouldn't be terrified by the way that I see the world
And my plan to enjoy life in the simplest of ways.
Would any of them travel the land with me?
Hand in hand?

I thought of many things.
But I mostly thought of how it is my responsibility
I should reconnect with my fellow man.
I should love, without boundaries.
