Rush - February 28, 2012

[note: this was written during a writing exercise: we had 20 minutes to write something inspired by the word "Rush". This is the result, unedited, exactly as it appeared when time ran out. You can read all of them in the waves category]

Rush - Squiddy Geiger - February 28, 2012

Rush, rush, everywhere in a hurry
Never taking time to see the sights
Scramble, scramble, must get done
Missing the beauty left and right.

Rush, rush, living in the fast lane
Forgetting the little things in life
Helter skelter through the day
Small delays causing strife

Saunter, saunter, smell the roses
See the world as it really seems
Slow, slow, in quiet contemplation
Make the best of natures dreams

Rush, rush, ignore the world
Even when it gives you beauty
Stop, stop, don't miss the world as it really is because you're too stupid to realize it doesn't get better than this and all your running around acquiring things is so much smoke and mirrors and you -
- oh, excuse me
Stop, stop, don't miss the world
As it would wish for you to be.
