History

gotta hurry, little time for chatter
not on-deck, always the current batter
pendulum swinging at a hastened pace
as if existence were a non-stop race

skip over letters go straight for the words
type of education most find absurd
continue to grind no matter how stressed
pushing onward, no need to stop and rest

haunted by thoughts, being chased by the past
knowing that nothing here ever long lasts
forever shifting gears without a clutch
as if evolution were in a rush

armed with statistics most find mind-numbing
crashing head-on into what's forthcoming

...nice write....reflects ancient times as 'history' --> his-story --> antique words be unfortunate sometimes...being that they 'still' mean army generals rule........ stans sand
