Life At 150 Mph

a road turns into a cloud
as the lonely figure rides
towards the gates of hell

mirrored face shield 
hides the devilish smile
from onlookers curious

what's the hurry
does he know the risk
and does he even care

No

because life looks so different 
and feels so good at 150 mph
there's not enough time to think

decisions are for fools
the road is straight
the course set
a dead end means 
FREEDOM...............
