Living a life so intense!

Living a life that is so intense

Keeps us in a perpetual state of defence

Keeps us literally inside of a fence

We keep ourselves going at any expense

We stop listening to common sense

We ignore our intuition and sixth sense

Taking time off becomes a major offence

Being efficient is our self inflicted pretence

For ignoring ourselves and our planets immense

Plea for a new way.

A new beginning

A recommence

We justify our pace to help us make sense

Of a world that’s gone awry. and hence

We justify our decisions believing we are making sense

And sensible choices-and yet that’s absolute nonsense

We forget that everyday we can make new choices. Not simply 

Repeating past mistakes and then paying penitence.

When did we all get so dense?

Its enough to make our ancestors in their graves grieve and whence!

We weren’t supposed to in one day -one year condense!

Continuing at this pace will cost us more than an incidental expense

We need something to clear the air-and the errors of our thinking

Maybe some strong incense

It’s time to pull out the frankincense!
