Frantic is the pace of life Always moving with greatest unease Running rats for hands of clock to seize To slow that frantic pace Just to save face In the race Of a frantic and hurried life Cattle herded from here to there From grazing green to water From living to slaughter And all of us in line Obeying the signs Just killing time Breathing artificial air The enemy time common to all Never enough or so it seems The pace only rests in dreams How to stop no one knows Speeding up as it goes Only once it slows Just before the great fall |

Cattle herded from here to there From grazing green to water From living to slaughter And all of us in line Obeying the signs Just killing time Breathing artificial air Just one question... when did you visit my office?? You've written some hard truths... and it seems to be even worse during this season when we really should be slowing down, reflecting, embracing loved ones and giving thanks for the reason rather than chasing sales. Superb write! |

Wow, so true! But I have learned to slow down every day a little bit to meditate for a while. We must allow our soul to recharge every now and then, as often we even don't sleep enough! Powerful write! Love, Margherita  |

Hey, sometimes you just have to jump the fence and get out of the cow patties. Run away! Run away! Find pastorial pastures and take a breath. That's how I see it anyway -- and I like your poem lots. A |
