Slow it Down

Slow it Down
Self destruct, finger on the button and push
A million different ways to destroy through self abuse
Fill your lungs with toxins
Or shove them in your veins
Pour them in your gullet
Or any orifice that remains
Live life in the fast lane
Or slow slow slowing it down
Fill gaps and gaping holes
And slow slow slowing it down
Self destruct, self abuse, self destroy
Looking for Nirvana
Just slow slow slow it down
Discard the bothers of this world
To your own place of beauty go
Move out of the fast lane
Slow slow take it slow
Feeling mellow, safe and warm
Reach that plateau divine
Can you just stay there?
Stop time
And wrapped in mellow calmness
You sit cosy warm stress free
Suddenly it strikes you, is this the way it’s meant to be?
Speed up, speed up, get moving again
Your must run to make your mark
Speed, haste, a kick up the arse
No self-realisation if on your bum you park
Park it, shove it, kick it or kiss
Just get it moving or it’s your life you’ll miss
Park it, shove it, kick it or kiss
Just get it moving or it’s your life you’ll miss
Back out on the fast lane
Running in the race
Striding out
Aiming for first place
To make your mark
To make your mark
Running out in the race
To make your mark
Run, run, run, how long must you run
Sit down to rest and you’re doomed
Run, run, run, how long must you run
Success must be your food
But you gotta slow slow slow it down to see it
You gotta slow slow slow it down to feel
Slow slow it to appreciate
Food is more than just a meal
Speed up for the doing
Slow down to reflect
Finding an even balance
Cause and effect
Cause and effect

| Nice write. The flow was kinda choppy, then stabilized in the end. Then again, that does kinda go along with the poem well. |

Great message, variable but effective delivery, witha song-like quality to parts of it.
Speed up for the doing
Slow down to reflect
Finding an even balance

Great finish -couldn't have written it better myself!
