poem - stop

stop

stop is a realization moment

to put the mind at ease

to rest the body

to sit and reflect

perhaps a time to appreciate life

to just stop

we take life for granted

exhausting it as quickly as the seconds tick away

seldom appreciating the time we have in life

when to take full control of our finite mission

or when to relinquish it

the times have rendered us sheep

grazing for someone's else's benefit

at one time it was about family

children, building a home, and thanking a higher authority

what happened

you lost track of time and your self-respect

you got rapt up in the confusion

the noise disoriented you

the job became more than work

the invisible finish line weighed you down

how do you fix it

you just stop

it's your own personal reset

you just say enough is enough

and if everyone does it

you win, and everyone wins as well

the hive becomes unconquerable

it's the only solution

stop, sit back, reflect and unify

reprogramme, and take charge

it's a lot to ask, but life has asked much of you

you simply failed to respond to life

you sought existence at any cost

now you have to live

because life is in danger

thank you,

joseph pede
