Slower Why Don'T We

A little slower why don't we To listen, to see and to feel If only to truly ever be What it means to be truly real We do things expectantly for... Whether a self or everyone else Might we unexpectedly adore The nature of all things without a tell? What do we need... satisfied? Why do we need to satisfy? I was satisfied but my thrill died And I satisfy onto but why? Is it for a place in the world? For the confines of the imagined world adhere Do you play a part for your world you hurl? When too far are we all to feel too near... If it only takes to ever truly be We are all unreal to only be real Ever slower why don't we To listen, to see and to feel
