busy people

they walked passed his window

he watched them come and go

the busy busy people

hurrying to and fro

too busy to watch the stars above

or watch the flowers grow

those busy busy people

nobody wants to know


those busy busy people

trying to live and sell

walking past the ground floor flat

without a front door bell

nobody knocked on the door

to check if all is well

now there are accusation

reporters want to tell

too busy people didn't look

till the corpse began to smell
