Go, Go, Go

Life in the fast lane
... is go, go, go,
Fleeting in vain ...
Take the one that's slow

100 miles per hour
Pedal to the metal,
One foot has the power
To let that needle settle

Time goes by fast
It goes fast enough, 
Speeding right passed
All the good stuff

Rush, rush, rush 
There is time to lose,
With stop signs lush
They're there to use

Take a break ...
With life, superb,
For your own sake
Pull over to the curb.

Kelly, I couldn't agree more with the message you convey here in each of your five stanzas. I'm certainly of the opinion that life has sped up too much for my liking. Sometimes we just need to pull off life's speeding highway and...breathe. Live for now. Appreciate all that is around us. I took my time reading this and enjoyed the rhyme and sentiment. Cheers - Gary
