Eye Of The Hurricane
June 15, 2016
Feet in the sand,
Waves crashing to land,
The world never looked so peaceful.
Birds chirping ahead,
I'm still laying in bed,
The world never looked so peaceful.
The world never looked so peaceful,
when there are beach blankets galore,
Drinks, I need more,
and a seagull flying nearby.
On the show I'm not watching above,
A man shot up a club.
Update: they found the guy,
and the newest polls are on standby.
But none of it matters to me,
Because I am on vacation,
No perspiration,
Just simplificatin for a week.
Now my vacation's over,
Reality comes closer,
And the world never looked so awful.

This was inspired by my friend who was on vacation for a week or so, while a bunch of shootings were going on, and Donald Trump had said some stuff that got him in trouble, and when she came back, she had been so engulfed in the image of paradise shoved at you on vacation, that she didn't know any of it had happened, because when you finally see the world against what you thought it was, it is truly an awful place
