There’s a Rhythm And Rush 

There’s a rhythm and rush to life these days one i cannot stand 

The world demands you to always be productive to b running in the rat race 

But I refuse to run in the rat race 

I’m content to live my simple life 

To write my poetry and protect my peace 

I don’t chase after success it’ll find me eventually 

I cherish the free time I have to spend with family and friends 

I want for nothing I have a roof over my head and food on the table  

Money to spend how I please 

I’m not rich but I can cover all the necessities and still have money left over 

I want to go back to simpler rhythm and rush when we weren’t all running in the rat race 

Because the rush these days leaves you empty with nothing but broken dreams 

There is a truth and it’s on my side 

All the hustle and bustle these days  

Isn’t good for us 

Aren’t you sick of running always trying to keep up with the joneses 

Trying to afford that new car 

Believing if you just sacrifice everything else in your life on the altar of your career 

You’ll have enough money 

Enough money for what 

Will that money bring back the lost moments of your child’s childhood you missed 

Will it bring back the time you didnt spend with your parents or your partner 

Because you were too busy working 

The rhythm and rush of the day isn’t for me 

I have escaped it can you?
