60 SECONDS

60 SECONDS

 

We all run with hopes of getting to our destination

Time seems to be the only factor that serves as a limitation

We pray for a reason not to fail

Forgetting that success is a prisoner who demands an expensive bail

Help is a shelter stuck in a safe

But safety has nothing to do with a home trapped in a grave

With all put in place for the journey ahead

Something seems absents, something unsaid

It’s no surprise that we crave the love of the unseen

It has always been our nature to seek what we feel had been

But what then do we lack that birth this emptiness

What could be the cause of this feeling of nothingness?

 We’ve searched our heart within and found nothing

We’ve searched our soul and seen nothing

The race we say must continue and so we run

Our race has no business with leisure or fun

Right before our eyes we see our brothers’ rise and fall

Our loved ones thrown around like misplaced balls

We are dedicated and committed to the cause

But our cause is also our curse

In time as time will tell us, we will come to understand

But for now on this front line we must stand

Our destination still lies far from our eyes

But we know the gate home will be shut

Once again time is our limitation

Once again what we seek is our destination

Now, how can we walk a thousand miles in 60 seconds?
