Fast and Faster

Fast and Faster   7/6/2017



They might wonder
What is wrong
And they might think
That we
Are insane. 

But all men die
While only a few
Ever live
Truly free
To be who they are. 

Surfing the hurricane
And barely touching the water
In control of uncontrollable chaos
At a thousand miles an hour. 

All of this
Can disappear
And even the greatest glory
Lost in an instant
Of ravishing splendor. 

Now is the time
To be here
And this is the moment
Of the greatest gold. 

A shining moment
To be cherished
At the top of a world
Long turned
Upside down. 

Choosing truth
And embracing reality
Unleashed
And unbridled.

The lies are falling
And it is now
That we must choose
Shedding all that is fake
And all that is phony. 

It has never been more clear
And the odds
Have never been greater
The whole world
And all its institutions
Diseased from within. 

Long used like a hammer
To break us down
And destroy lives
Over used
And over extended. 

Ready to collapse
At any moment
Even the all powerful
And self-absorbed.

Teetering on their perches
Arrogant and smug
Judging us all
And pumping out the drugs.

But no longer
Do we
Even touch the ground
Faster and faster
On top of the trains.

Closer to God
Than man
The bold actions
Of the free
And the brave.
