people feel
it's purposeless
to just sit and watch
the sunset
whereas
you could be productive
doing your work-out,
listening to your iPod,
skimming through email
on your latest Blackberry,
or reading a book
chewing some sour cream potato chips
along with the sips of RedBull,
or, if possible,
doing all of them together -
and yeah,
you do appreciate the fact
that the sun
is important for our lives -
while the sunset happens
in the background
all the time,
the sky assuming
shades of red
which slowly give way
to gray,
and it darkens.
