Listed To Death

rushing here
rushing there
at the speed of light
getting things done
adding to the to-do list
that perpetual checklist

in the end
there is no end
the list just
keeps getting longer
no matter how
much faster i rush
i just get nowhere faster

Very true. This is the world we inhabit. We need to slow down, forget the pressure and enjoy life more.
