Reckless

Have we forgotten

the weight of being human?

In our rush to win,

we lose what matters.

Love fades

in the noise of survival.

We wound,

without thought,

and call it coping.

Do we ever pause

before we break

another’s peace

to heal our own?

In the Rush

Do we still value humanity?

In our race to succeed,

have we forgotten

that life is fragile

and precious?

Do we remember love

in our chase for survival?

Why so careless

with another’s heart?

Do we think of consequence

when we gamble

with our own lives?

The pain we leave behind,

the chaos we set free

can we really rest

after shattering another’s peace

to quiet our own storms?
