What is the race for?
October 21, 2014
What is the race for?
A medal?
A prize?
We run all day long.
All week long.
All our lives.
What is the race for?
Is there something?
At the End?
Are we in this
For something
That will help our hearts mend.
What is the race for?
Learn this right now
Always today.
We rush to tomorrow.
As if it was
Promised that way.
What is the race for?
Do the pros
Outweigh the cons?
Are we playing the game?
Or are we just
Manipulated pawns?
What is the race for?
To beat our
Fellow man?
Is it really worth the struggle?
Do you think there’s
Really some big plan?
What is the race for?

Why does everything have to be a race to finish? What are we racing too? Death? A long happy life won't come if you race to the next pitstop. Maybe we should just jog through it so that we don't miss the good stuff.
