PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Are we living our lives

on fast forward?

Are we taking too many

things for granted?

Are we skipping through all the 

commercials?

Have we become so bored

with existence that we are

speeding up our perception of that existence?

(to get it over with sooner rather than later?)

Or is stress causing us to frantically

run around like chickens with our heads cut off?

Its so easy to lose track of time

and get distracted by these things that are wasting our time

Why?

Because time is dull,

we need something to constantly fill it with it,

but in doing so we wonder where all that time went?

Its hard to simply let things be,

because we are not all here entirely,

our minds our divided (past, present and future)

so many different things happening all at once,

We can't be with time,

because time is not with us,

like a shadow we are constantly

trying to chase it.

So many deadlines,

so many consequences

that only exist at one time

but not at another

These things so quickly becoming

meaningless, when the present

like a wave ceases to exist

on their shore.
