Poem
Whatever next? You say that this life isn't enough Yearning with a need to feel the rush Excitement found on deadly ground Feet on fire dancing to the latest sound Whatever next? When too much is not enough When being bad beats outright the niceties of being good Adrenaline pumping means never stopping! Mind absorbs the nature of every sin Whatever next? A faster car? A faster life? A memory scar? Must see, must have, can't be, can't have! Can't see the past, the future must be had Must feel the feel, must taste the now Can't stop for you, can't tread your ground Whatever next? No meaning, no way. Not in with the groove, you're so passé Don't know, don't care Get out of my way! Whatever next will you do? You burned the people all around you because they became so 'un-cool' You couldn't stop, you couldn't stand still Must be in the craze, must have the latest pill! The brakes came on when you couldn't stop Life caught up with you and the bubble popped! Not 20 no more! Can't burn through the night like before! Body now feels the cold, mind can't take no more You chased the chase, but the 'run' ran out on you You can't accept that you're only human too! Introductions were fine, but then..... they bring questions to you! Whatever next are you going to do?
