THE FAST LANE

Like mechanized robots

we move from goal to goal

never mind whom we trample

however high the toll.

 

Where friendships die

at the alter of meetings

secure in our bank balance

no time for honest greetings.

 

Do we hear our loved ones

we're on the phone too much

an irritable glance is all

to answer their caring touch.

 

Forever on the run

who has time to breathe

ever stopped to think

where this road will lead?

 

In plush coffins and fancy cars

we waste away bit by bit

we're dead already

and we don't even know it...

~Bittersweet~
