Give Our Minds a Break

GIVE  OUR  MINDS  A  BREAK


Always rushing
never breathing
society is pushing.

Where is the rest
that solemn peaceful time?
We break you know
from time that is mine.

We are people
not machinery,
that runs and runs
and never ever breaks !

I can't lay back
and give my mind
a moments quite time !

Cell phone in my ear,
t.v. always shouting
people ordering and demanding.

How do I flush out this bleating ?
My mind is over heating
soon I'll crash and burn !

Oh I know,
but can I really do it?Turn off the lights and phones;
unplug that darn t.v.,
close my eyes and be with the Lord.

He is just beyond
Societies door;
deep within my heart !

Insightful statement of the present condition--and I like your solution. I like it most of all because it's not a clarion call for a return to a quieter, more provincial past. I.e., the solution is right here for us, right now. We need only close our eyes! We needn't panic or run. Thank you for sharing this poem! Best wishes, Gershon

Very cool poem. And right one. Nice flow. Excellent meaning. And truthful. My congratulations for writing of the alienation epidemic.
