"Now"

now
silence
to think
to listen
to your inside self
creating thoughts
yesterday
today
to sustain you
now gone
what about tomorrow?
never now
it's no good
your brain
washed clean
talking on a cell phone
watching tv, movies
computers
listening to sounds
ipods
rewind
fast forward
fancy fast cars
the fast lane?
all designed
for your pleasure
to make life
better
easy
more fun!
when we all know
what happens
is the opposite
it all began
when we started
moving faster
through time
and space
than our thinking
could hold
talking
not listening
no quiet moments
what is left over
is our dilemma
where thinking
has ceased
and given way
to lost
yesterdays
now silence
no tomorrows
not now
