In Such a Hurry To Get Nowhere
We are living in a microwave induced society.
Where patience and mercy have no place and that’s reality
No time for friendly chit chat.
Or getting to know your neighbor, you can forget that.
Very few people seldom take the time to know the person that lives next door.
Such a sad situation, the art of making friends has become such a chore.
It’s like we’re almost in a race to reach the end.
And we live in such a make believe world where nothing is real it’s all just
pretend.
We can circumnavigate the world in mere minutes instead of years.
And if the bible holds to truth we may be living those days of horrors,
experiencing our worst fears.
Time simply has no value it’s seems to be something we’re trying to defeat.
Lord I miss those younger years when life still had some purpose and tasted
so sweet.
Those days seem gone forever, gone up in a whirlwind of smoke.
And if you mention to the younger set how things were so different, they look at
you and laugh like you just made a joke.
For me I know the difference and I know that I’m right.
And as for God and my Country they’re still worth the fight.
A simple smile can go such a long, long way.
It’s a sign to your fellow man that you’re happy and all is okay.
