Faster

The world is spinning faster
    not of axis but of time
How many lifetimes fit into the span
    of one life?

Divorces pulling homes apart
    not one's immune, not even mine
Unfaithfuless, adultery fill the land
    is there hope?

The earth beneath us trembles so hard
    her foundations coming loose
I wonder if we all can leave the world behind
    somewhere new?

The internet can pull us in
    connections between us all
So many people are joining together
    are we one?

Can we slow her dizzying speed?
    run away from our future
Would it change the course we set for ourself?
    likely not.
