The Revelation of Modern Slow Times Vs Young
How does it feel to feel and be recalled?
As a teen, so slow to rise yet quick to fall;
Away so righteous and never wrong;
Surrounded by your dreams of miseries;
While flowing down the Missouri;
I challenge you to ponder;
Hold your head up and wonder;
This is the event of a learning and yet;
You'll have to come up to past this, this which is life's test;
Stop and look to the heavens skies stop being on the run;
We have the greatest things the latest things in technology;
but slowed down, held down is my seniority;
This is the revelation;
It's the revelation of modern slow times versus the young;
The youth today are now so slow, slow down I AM tried such and too much
in dismay;
Often being accused, struck down and used;
won't git up out of bed, won't do as God has said;
won't stand on their own two feet most often obese;
I am obsessed with my own self righteousness;
by the slowness of their craft;
So I too shall fall, crawl and hide;
Keeping my playbook by my side;
Hold your head up and wonder;
this is the event of learning and yet I still ponder;
You'll have to come up to past this, this that is life's test;
Stop and look to the heavens into the skies stop being on the run, what's left;
don hold your breath
Breathe
Stop and look to the heavens into the skies stop being on the run;
This is the revelation;
I am not trying to make you run fast;
It's not about the water you soak up in a sponge;
Or drink in a clay-glass;
This is the revelations of modern slow times versus the young;
