Rush
He rushed across the street
To a fate he had to meet
He rushed to fall in love
When falling is not good from above
He rushed to get a degree
Rushing into things he could not be
He rushed to get a job
Not knowing who he’d rob
He rushed to fill his dreams
Never running out of them, it seems
He rushed to have a child
Before he knew how children are styled
He rushed to a wife that’s sure
Will bring happiness like none before
He rushed to a chess-board boss
Who’d make up for his so-called loss
He rushed past the stars every night
He was sure to have them missed out of sight
He rushed to wed, to bed, to be led
To a life everyone said he’d have before he’s dead
He rushed to the wilderness to find
The smells of the past he’d left behind
He rushed to seek the promised land
He rushed to things he didn’t understand
He rushed then put his rush aside
He cursed at those who rushed his pride
He slowly crossed the road
His toes now count as the story unfolds
