Unfit

Unfit

Time flies by so quickly these horrid days

So miserably and uncontrollably fast

like a ballerina flitting softly across a stage

like water droplets ringing through a still pond

Finding us haphazard and unfit, unprepared

My eyes tear up and my throat is tight

As I listen to music that offers some relief

Like Falls falling colors in Summer

And Cold winds under a Warm September Sun

Time is gearing up for a darker change

I feel so helpless in the new coming age

All this digital desolation encompassing me

While the World is bleeding ignorance

And witless fools speak of compassion

Our wars have seen brighter days

But Peace is the new design

Sadness grips me in my heart of Souls

For all that I see and all that I know

Everything running past with Machine accuracy

Forgetting the Natures Chaotic rhythm

I don't understand but I full well know

that, Time flies by so quickly these horrid days
