Way Too Fast
scientists claim climate change is inevitable
the world is changing
way too fast
and some can't handle the strain
the entitled millennial me generation
are sculpting society
embracing artificial intelligence
and cybernetics in their pursuit of immortality
sometimes sheep put their trust in smiling shearers
way too fast
I'm amazed at the gullibility of people today
they are so easily lead
what is so wrong with saying please and thank you
instead of shoving your phone in someone's face
and claiming that it's your right
per freedom of speech
fully protected by the Constitution
society is crumbling
way too fast
frozen glaciers are melting
and there is nothing we can do about it
that option is no longer on the table
the future is happening before our eyes
and yet being solely focused on today
we are blind to it
but that doesn't mean that it's not affecting us
it's all happening
way too fast

(How Many Syllables)
Suzette Prime
Created by Suzette Richards. Syllable count: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc. Any topic which lends itself to a philosophical statement is suitable for "Suzette Prime." A prime number syllable count combination may be used per line to avoid mirror images, which will detract from the freestyle feel. The line breaks serve as punctuation, and no caps are used unless it is called for. A prime number is a number larger than one with no other divisors besides one and itself.
