THE PUB

The music was high and an equaliser for all in the pub

Seemingly touching each heart uniquely

To some the music was nostalgic others exciting

To others it was calming

All in all it was setting the mood right

Booze was flowing to the depth of every pocket

The attitude was one of not judging anyone

Everyone minding their own business

What this business was was not particularly clear and no one was concerned

I was left guessing what had brought us all to this venue

The waiting ladies and gentlemen must have been drilled to this

It was assumable that it was the business of making money that had brought the all to the venue

But who knows?

A group of young men was dancing at a corner

Probably making a memory for when they grew old

An old man was holding a cute lass close to his chest

Maybe he was remembering his old days

A group of men in their thirties was seated quietly as if they were observing the entire crowd

They came in together but they were silent

It could be they were licking their wounds looking into the future

A young man was seated looking into his beer mug

Maybe he was figuring out who he was

A young woman was dancing peacefully at a corner

Alone like she had no care in the world

I could not guess what was happening in their mind

Two young men and women came in and ordered a bottle of gin

May be they were just workmates who had come in together

For sure I knew I knew not what was truly going on

But I was sure each person had come to get some pleasure

To cement a memory, pass time or loose remembrance of a time

All in all

Music went on without judging
