Burning Rubber

A poem from 2018

Too fast!
Too fast!
Rushing around
Here, there and everywhere
Why do it?
Isn't that what got us into trouble in the first place?
Lack of patience
Lack of trust
Burning rubber
Eating dust
Losing our legs so we drive in cars

The smell
Oh, the smell!
It's choking us
The smoke
The smoke!
It's making us retch
It brings tears to my eyes
A whole people
A whole nation
Born of disobedience
Destined to be a thorn in the side of the world

Stop. this. now!
Rebellion isn't fun in the long run
That stench!
That fire!
It burns!
It never stops burning!
