The human eye is naturally drawn to moving objects. It reacts that way cause it is programmed to do so, there is no thought involved in the process. Alas, our minds seem to behave along the same mindless lines. Few things are more beguiling than an ever moving target.

Moving Target

Up and down and up, you go,
Switching labels: “friend” or “foe”,
Sometimes fast and sometimes slow,
Random bounce, won’t let things flow.

Mesmerized, they watch you change,
All those marksmen on your target's range.
They view colors in your dance,
I just see a fickle stance.

Your stream is hearty,
But the river runs thin.
Your house is a party,
But you rarely are in.

I bet it scares you to stay still,
To let folks see beyond your mill,
Cause you would cease to get your way.
Baffled minds seldom say nay.
