Human Race

Where oh where is we goin?

 

Human Race

runners to your mark get ready set now go

huff and puff all the way around the track

why do we have to run so much I don't know

we run our lives like we are all living on crack

just where in the hell are we all exactly headed

rush rush rush all the time in such a damn hurry

not taking enough time our thoughts so shredded

running scared seems mostly all we do is worry

life just seems to get more complicated every day

this is progress at least that is the words they use

spinning our wheels in every frappin kind of way

not sure who is behind it all is it some kind of ruse

I know the old ways were surely in no way perfect

but who remembers sleeping with the doors unlocked

guns and knives belonged to farmers not some reject

when boats and dances were the only things that rocked

bedlam is common now we give it little concern

riots murders robberies have become so routine

we shake our heads back to our crazy lives we return

have no time now to worry have to shop and clean

can my words here be used as some sort of fuels

just where is it we are going so dog gone fast

no one has an answer except liars and fools

it might be better to take a leap to the past

Sometimes I believe that the ones in power want us to run around like this so we don't have time to notice what is really going on. Excellent piece

The past wasn't no better. Liars were around for a few thousands years. With age I learn to understand the desire to become a monk and roam into a large mountain. A excellent poem. Make me think again. Thank you.

It's good to stop and smell the roses. Life gets more frantic as time goes on and the human race cares less about each other. Nice write.

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

Very very true Gomer
Also who remembers not having to lock your doors at night. I do, I enjoyed those days so much more than now.
