fallen candy

I was tempted to put fallen soldier but I feel weird typing that. So I was on my walk of the night 10minutes ago,you know the deal grab wallet and walk few blocks to the store , look through the same isles even through you memorized everything,and just buy some random thing and walk back. But on this walk back everything that has been going on flew at me,like a group of pigeons and I'm the pretzel they rip apart.(hold the mustard)So as I walked the empty street which so soon will be full of hustle and bustle,I watched the midnight diamonds flicker on and off hoping that maybe one would just be so bright it outshines the rest..then again that is the sun (ahahah joke) I sat down on the steps outside the house and just watched my life. Watched what others are doing,feeling,watched how you can see so much from them from nearly nothing at all. Then I looked down,just to deny all the facts,and thoughts I had stirred up in my mind,and I saw it, a half eaten mint, staring at it,thinking that someone dropped it,denied it of any possiblites to do its life meaning of making someones breath minty fresh. Why is it that we thrive to move on,progress, achieve,human nature?Or standards we set upon ourselves?
