Keep Those Eyes Down!


In our daily lives we are often so preoccupied with the busy-ness around us that we never take the time to "...be still, and know that I am God." Here's a good natured satirical look at our busy selves:
 
"Keep Those Eyes Down!"

 Wailing sirens.
 Honking horns.
 Angry shouts.
 Middle fingers.
 Pavement.

 Babelesque buildings reaching unto the heavens.
 Look at what Man has accomplished.
 We're so awesome!
 At night, a few fluorescent lights below...conceal an entire cosmos above.
 Keep those eyes looking down.

 Even the animals have lost their natural dread.
 Just about anyone can be St Francis if they've got a bag of bread crusts.
 Rats and Squirrels top The Chain.
 What noble beasts.

 People scurry a million directions.
 Always in a crowd.
 Always alone.
 Pop in the buds.
 Turn up the ole 'Pod.
 Download another app....you'd hate to talk to a human next to you in line.
 Keep those eyes down.

 Busy, busy, busy...enough to brag about....on Twitter.
 Trees...in pots... by the escalator in the mall!
 Abundance.
 Plenty.
 Anything and Everything to entice one's heart from their Maker.
 Down! Keep those eyes down here.

 The Creator declares His majesty each day when He rules the sky with sunlight.....
 and at night when He lights up the firmament.
 Even when we're not paying attention...or can't see it.

 Hate to distracted by all that weird nature stuff.
 Keep those eyes down!
