Everybody’s busy
Everybody’s rushing around
Tell me why you’re busy
Am I too slow to share your ground.
Martyrs to your manic
Why can’t you just slow down
Molecules of frantic
Faster than the speed of sound.

The depressed and lonely
Trying to reach out to someone
Everybody’s busy
Can’t you see the harm that’s done.
Where are we all going
Taming time or running away
Why’s the climate changing
No more a community.
Is this all we’ve got
When the people engage
Faceless, graceless talk
On a facebook page
Incriminate
Technological diety
Will you ever want
Friendship face to face.

Time to talk
Time to walk
Time to be
Time set free.

So how can we be breathing
Snatching time then spitting it back
Never really hearing
The pendulum swings till the wasteland cracks
Burning every minute
Caring nothing for anything else
Humans breaking limits
We’re going to die in a climate of self.
