That is the way it should be when the destination is desired. According to scripture, the road that leads to destruction is popular, well traveled, wide and comfortable, but it leads to destruction.

I'm really liking this short verse poem on moving along along shoulder to shoulder. It reminds me of New York City. The abstract art is really cool.

Sending you my very best today as always.

Humanity is always in motion, it is an overcrowded planet, and the path ahead does appear to be narrowing for many.

Well said and I like the image you've chosen to represent everything you say.

Good one, Bill. Narrow and crowded are excellent adjectives to describe people's lives these days. Alliteration with moves and me. I would also count 'man' in humanity.

Hi Bill,
This is a nice little 5-7-7. A comment on city living, makes me even happier to be a country mouse. I've done the 'city' thing before in college, and the large town thing for over 20 years, as it kept growing around me. I swore I'd never move from there, but I did, and I probably will again. I'm too close to a main road where I am for my taste.
Country Mouse :)

    I can't stand crowds or cities either.

Where I live, I don't experience crowds. There are no downtown stores anymore, so there aren't shoppers. Maybe in the large cities it's different and you still see the crowds. It seems the narrator is just part of the crowd, moving along like everyone else. There's a sense of being lost among the crowd. Interesting artwork. judi

We are never far from another human being, unless we are at the north pole of the Sarah desert. It might be crowded but it is good to be in the same company, a poignant write Bill, love Dolly x

That's a cool interpretation of that picture! Humanity does seem to be on a crowded lane more than due to overpopulation but from the worldwide connection via the internet.

    It's hard to believe how many dolts have a million followers. I guess it's not that hard to believe.

A thought provoking 5-7-7, Bill. I stopped and thought about it for a while. As always, you did a great job on crafting this verse!

Moving on a lane in a crowd these days can be dangerous times. What was once for fellowship and relaxation, is now like playing dodge the bullets and all that glitters isn't just jewelry. Thanks for sharing.
