Dust In The Air

Baboon Rising


What is in the air
Never seen anywhere 
Particles of despair 
Squint all you can 
You'll never see them 
Or a buried stem 
What could these be? 
Those items unseen 
It baffles humanity 
The mystery is in your inner mind 
These particles revealed at this time 
Thanks to the angle of the light 
The dust in the air comes into sight 
Now that you can see 
The dust that you breathe 
Floating in the breeze 
It surely makes you think 
That even when you blink 
The dust is on the brink 
Now look what you've done 
Inhaled it in your lungs 
At least it's not dung
