Where We Are All Headed
Listen to poem:
every day we scurry at our hurried pace
simply another runner in the human race
no time to reach out and make any real connection
to show those in our circle meaningful affection
one thing for sure each one of us cannot escape
one day we’ll watch our life on a celestial audiotape
we shouldn’t wait till we’re on a gurney
to think about sum total of our journey
reconsider terrestrial bickering and strife
over points that matter least in afterlife
today is not too late to make amends
to set scores straight and start new trends
