Prayer for Purpose

Why not now?
Feed me something to kick my brain
Steal my eyes, glaze me tame
Tweet or TV, online suck
Lost to the world, silent, stuck
Rhapsodizing problems out
Beyond these walls, a life's about
But here I stay, alone in bed
The screen's alive, I am led
Choking on the spectacle
Mad op ed receptable
Check the window, What's outside?
A walk run sandwich subway ride?
Where's the purpose, where's the light
To push me past the door tonight
