Pause
This pushy era
Captures agenda
Non-stop demands press
As schedules address
No time to waste now
Get going somehow
Go this and that way
No time to delay
So much urgency
Plus all things noisy
No time to reflect
With panic attacks
So much to do here
Yet nothing endears
Rush from here to there
Then going nowhere
No wonder the strain
And stress and disdain
Why not take a break
For your kind old sake?
Pause for just a while
Relax with a smile
Hurry you must stop
Or else you will drop
Take time out to breathe
This will save you grief
Live simple pleasures
Enjoy such treasures
