Redirect

Redirect.


We are taught it when we're children.
We just don't know it.
When we're having a tantrum
and someone distracts us with something else,
we are redirected.


As we become parents,
it is a natural and effective tool
to use on our own children.


What has happened, then,
to adults?
It seems we are only redirected
by newer gadgets,
bigger toys,
grander illusions of tangible toxicity.


We need to redirect our attention.
To those in need.
To those who hurt.
To those that need support.
No one gets out alive.
Let's make it better while we're here.
