The Rush
We rush along in our monotone lives
always trying to get somewhere,
merely to leave so we can rush again
guzzling down bubbly chemicals
that convince our bodies to stay on the run.
We ignore the complex, sparkling masterpeice
the stars have painted us
We blast away the hidden secrets
that whisper through the branches of ancestoral trees
We forbid the sun to kiss our cold skin
instead forcing it to scorch us
because we have this absurd idea of altering beauty
Whether it's to destroy the home which concieved us
or our own simplistic nature that begs
to sit
watch
listen
appreciate
