Life’s so quick; life’s so fast,
at this rate will I last?
How on earth will I stay sane?
Living in the fast lane.
Peace of mind I have no more,
simple life has gone for sure.
Always wanted in constant demand,
mobile in car, mobile in hand.
No time to talk to an old friend,
new friend computer, says ‘press and send’
Half hour lunch, if you are lucky!
Eat whilst running, your fast food Kentucky.
Send a letter. It takes too long,
What’s App and Snapchat are the new song.
Internet instant message has just beckoned,
chat to global village in a second.
How long can I keep up this pace?
Will I ever finish the New World race?
My life is spinning out of control.
A high price to pay, for selling my soul.
Hi @Zoey i really admire people who use their talents to spread their feelings and thoughts and also the love of God by the form of art especially in poetry.
indeed, its really hard ti find peace in this present time a fast pacing time , it feels like we are running in race, cant hold our second or minute to take a break. i know that there are pros and cons living in the fast lane, but one thing is for sure, GOD is ALWAYS THE SAME YESTERDAY TODAY AND FOREVERMORE
Life’s so quick; life’s so fast,
at this rate will I last?
How on earth will I stay sane?
Living in the fast lane.
Life is hard, time is fast and struggles are everywhere. People come and go and everything is just temporary. But God is always on our side, even if we do not see Him. He is always guiding and giving us strength each day to keep going and move forward. He is the reason why we have overcome those battles and become stronger with every obstacles thrown our way. We are not alone. God is always with us through good and bad times.
I am glad you like my poem Living in the Fast Lane by Simon Icke UK
This is the way I used to live as a Sales Manager for a major UK insurance company, until I reached burn out and was forced to retire at a young age. I wrote this poem so others might not get caught up in the r’ new world race, and learn from my mistake, to always make time for loved ones and the simple but beautiful things of life, if only we would make time and get our priorities right in life.
