DON'T LOOK AT THE CLOCK By Marina Antoni
This is for the fathers,
that don't have a job and wait for their wife to get home.
This is for the mothers,
that have people do everything for them and have nothing to do.
This is for the children,
that don't work and their mothers do everything for them.
Stop looking at the clock!
This if for the homeless,
that wait all day for someone to leave just one coin for them.
This is for the baby tree,
that waits to grow tall.
This is for the plant,
that never grows flowers.
Stop looking at the clock!
This is for the dog,
that waits all day just to take one walk in the park.
This is for the puppy,
at the shelter waiting for someone to come pick them up.
This is for the mom,
waiting to go back to bed.
Don't look at the clock!
