Why Do You Keep Running

She said "Why do you keep running, slow down a little; Why don’t you open your eyes and see beyond the horizon; Don’t you see it…?? Coz I see it; I see it very well without having to squint my eyes or stretch them thus far” I see it. “I see good measure in that scorned bitter man twisted and turned by the cruelness of this world” “I see the sorrow hiding behind that girl’s smile, devoured by vultures of this earth, I also see divine hope deep within, see it in her eyes as she takes it one day at a time” So don’t run, slow down & look around you, you may be running your own race but why not stop, take a step back & walk with that troubled mother carrying so much weight on her shoulders, Why don’t you just slow down & help carry that weight, it will only take a minute “ Coz I see it, with this slow pace of mine I see that long lost friend, struggling, I see her hands trembling, her loneliness growing, I see her eyes swave trying to hold back anxious tears. I see that boy and girl walking holding hands, young love it must be but why don’t you just slow down a bit, hold their hands & teach them how it should b, no young innocence should be lead astray. So you better stop running and slow down a while, look beyond the horizon, coz it may look peaceful, serene & pure but what’s beyond it is what matters. Jus slow down a moment and look around you, it will only take a minute.
