Clay Young Jr. Poet I do not know?

Ignorance Versus Aprehension

Ignorance versus apprehension



left behind today
my smile walked away
but not away from me
it just led me to get free

you showed me life's race
right now i'm out of pace
10 seconds of attention
against a thousand yard stare
ignorance versus apprehension
the inversive tortoise and the hare

tortoise tests the water
hare just jumps right in
then jumps out of his skin
learning it was blood from the slaughter
all his friends and kin
both his son and daughter
he learned his lesson then
regret became his Alma Mater

so what am i really trying to say?
don't think my life is without care
yeah, you're ahead of me today
i am the tortoise you are the hare
i watch the miles melt away
you just blindly stare
the finish line is not your care
but i hope someday i meet you there
