When Swift Ain'T Fast Enough!
If a bullet's wizz'en at you
swift ain't good enough!
If you put your glass
on the edge of the counter
mostly over air
you're paying little
attention- cause
the kids need your care...
swift ain't good enough
When your youngest
trips, to bruise his knees
you try to get there,
but, you see....
swift ain't good enough
When you breath your last breath
and the devil comes for you
you try to ask God to forgive you
as so many do
swift ain't good enough
When the cops
chase you for speeding,
and you don't own the car,
swift ain't enough
When you're tired,
real, real tired,
and your neck hurts like hell
but ya gotta
finish your poem...
and scurry to get it done...
swift ain't good enough
When you're working
at a feverish pace,
at 150% your normal speed,
where you're endangering
your life, cause this job
is one you need,
but the boss comes over
scowling, wants..
much, much more...
swift ain't good enough
When you have but a quarter,
can't afford a cup of coffee,
and payday is approaching...
as far as you're concerned...
in regards to the passage of time.....
Swift Ain't Even Close!!!!!!
