Highway of Humanity

I am on

the highway of humanity

in the middle lane

it no longer runs on

angel-dust

I don't know

who to blame 

In fact I don't

know what drives it

these days 

nor who is

in the fast lane

but it is getting faster

and stronger

and longer

we all bleed for it

we aren't getting any younger 

we used to wait a week

to get the next stagecoach

now they apologize if you

wait five minutes, two minutes

and I have no idea

where this is going

But you will get there soon enough. And when you do, what will it mean? Good questions, Uwe. Allan
