Waiting
By Eileen Ramage ©1996

 

You are from a world I used to know

Things moved at the speed of light

In that place there was no slow

For those like us it was just right

 

Now here we are on planet Earth

Where everything takes so long

We even wait nine months for birth

I wish I knew where we went wrong

 

How did we get in such a state

Always waiting in some line

What have we done to bring such fate

I know it's not a choice of mine

 

Waiting for food, service and men

Waiting for red lights to turn green

Here we are now waiting again

I really don't think it's our scene

 

Do we slow down just like the rest

Living life at a slower pace?

No! I Think I'll give it my best

And be ahead of the Human Race
