In so many words they have expressed.
That drive I can’t well.
On enquiring what they meant.
All they would say is that I should cut ahead.
Reverence for the law they teach me to forsake.
60 is only a digit they claim.
You must do whatever it takes,
No rules are meant to be obeyed.
Sometimes I try to explain.
Why I choose to drive safe.
So much wrong could happen if I missed a brake.
With all these people it’s definitely not safe.
Shocked they are to hear what I say.
And tell me to be a man for Pete’s sake.
But I still won’t obey.

This piece is beautiful...I can associate with it on so many levels...its not even funny!
ReplyDeleteYou know recently a very very close friend told me that I shouldn't get upset if people think that I am not good enough for the "rat race", that I don't "cut ahead" Because according to her I have forsaken the world's standard for what is an achievement and what is not. For an evolved species we have some very convoluted expectations off our progeny.
Cheers
