A Poem by RobbieT
"

A little diddy I wrote up about our go go go society

"
Running rushing never stopping
Running rushing ever shopping
No time to smell the flowers
Just work through all the hours
No time to think of love
Just time to push and shove
The cars the lights the phones
These make houses not homes
No thoughts of gods above
No prayers for those we loved
All the music sounds the same
All the art is full of shame
No help for those in need
No words like thanks or please
No smiles nor laughs
Just dollar signs and graphs
Where is the humanity
Where are the ideals we aspire to be 
Devoured by the machine
And left to die it would seem
