The Hanged Man



To the Hanged Man
Everything looked upside down
People fighting over who was first and who was right
people attacking their brothers
people striving their whole lives to to survive
only to die at the end
People forgetting the moment to have a better one later
people driving large automobiles only to arrive
at a dusty office
People ignoring their children to give them a be"Better life"
people wanting to be happy by adding stress to their lives
adding more to their to-do list 
if they just get a another shot of busyness
then they will feel like they can rest
the world seemed upside down
The Hanged Man said

From his tree
He looked foolish
people laughed as they passed
he wasn't doing anything
He wasn't changing anything
He wasn't learning anything
He was using his time

but to the Hanged Man
he was the richest man of all
for he had time
He had time to watch
to enjoy
to observe
to be

time to be
the greatest gift of all 
to simply be
and this is why 
he was smiling
