"The Race"

The future wonders
Our everyday race
Hardly stopping
To take a breath

Words on cellphones
Mostly filling
Numbing our thoughts
To weariness

Blindly searching
Strapped in our cars
For more to do, to say, to have
Absorbing are being

Knowing the race has answers
Filling us with emptiness
An overdose of life
We do not know how to see

Afraid to stop
To see ourselves
When the race ends
At the finish line
