just go to work, be thankful and quit whining

the pendulum
may have swung too far
with all of this mumbo jumbo
new age
enlightenment.
yoga and Reiki,
therapy to soothe the broken
soul,
the mismanaged
hearts,
childhood trauma.
everyone seems to be staring
at their navels
contemplating life.
trying to figure out
what went wrong.
why the stars won't align,
despite being
an ENJF,
or Aquarius for their sign.
everyone is seeing a guru, 
a self help
coach
or becoming one.
God love the tree huggers,
the whale
savers, 
the deranged blue haired
protesters,
but we've had enough of you.
the only sane people are
the ones
that go to work, get tired,
come home to their families,
drink and eat, make love
and go to bed satisfied.
starting the next day
doing the same, but with
a strong cup of coffee,
not a soy milk,
gingerbread, extra shot,
whipped cream
latte,
inscribed with some silly name.
