The Poetic Word

Never Enough Time

Realization that many don’t want the best, they rather pull down…

Short week

Long week,

Fast days

And slow.

 

Topics spark

Lifting people up like fireflies,

Other days

The mind makes the eyes close.

 

To be free

To roam wherever you please,

Is like a bird

Learning to fly

After being pushed off the nest,

Or jumping off a cliff

To follow the flock,

Migrating away from the cold

To find rest.

 

During this time to learn

Feels like an eternity.

Delays & cancellations

Can turn a calm mind

Crazy.

 

Building up intelligence quotients

Confirms crab in a bucket mentality.

Realization that many don’t want the best,

They rather pull down

Then cry when life hits the fan.

 

Shields come down

But time is up

Just before it started.

 

Never enough time

To cover all the essential material.
