Leave those troubles at the gate

With news stories of crime and financial panic everywhere you look, we happily ignore them so that you can too. When you're here, you're here. Go ahead and try to discuss politics; we'll talk about the pink and blue sunset kissing the hillside. If you want a Wall street update, we'll recite some cowboy poetry. And if you worry about car costs, we'll offer you an extra long ride on an environmentally friendly horse. It won't be long before you forget about those worries and start day-dreaming about the next meal. You don't have to carry the weight of the world when you're here. And when you return to your "real life" maybe those stresses won't seem so bad after all.
