Haste in Season
Play that beautiful piano music I so seldom remember
 The speed of life has left me so distraught in my treasures
 I wish to slow down, breathe in, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures
 I hope to be part of no drastic measures
 
 So I sit back, take a breath and allow my words to flow
 Not to blow in hateful bluster but flow in verses;
 Clusters, as serene and fluid as water can muster -
 
 So I may think before I act
 And use logic to react
 
 Some see life as a merry-go-round
 Only like a ride, and they only believe they live to die
 But if we only live to die, then why even be alive?
 I live to be, to be someone, and to be the best man possible
 
 Just oh so simple, I wish to be
 Unfortunately I believe this cannot be
 For this era shall go down in history
 Speed has overcame reason
 And haste may become the new season
 
 Would this be treason or evolution?
 Mankind has often questioned
 Yet now the information age gives us only what we’re told
 Statements of facts and figures have replaced
 Questions of pacts and highly thought of persona grown old
 
 So are we angry because of our own thoughts?
 Or are we angry because of what we have been taught?
 
 Speed is in the season
 Haste is the reason
 Take away the “S” for treason
 And allow the water to flow for freedom
