Such Foolishness

It is without doubt the

Most spectacular exhibition of

Human foolishness driven by 

Ego and pride that ultimately 

Leads one inevitably into

Self implosion and destruction

Oblivious to the whole picture

Having set their eyes on one 

Tiny spec on the canvas

Making a mountain out of a molehill

Unaware of imminent disaster

Such foolishness 

Not content with what is on the table

Not content with what is ahead

Digging and digging a deeper hole

Into the ground until from whence 

It is too late and too deep to get out

Owing to one fatal character of 

Not knowing when 

To stop

Aging Faster

Going faster
Always trying to go faster
As if going faster will save time
Leaving more time to
Do other things

Working faster
Always trying to work faster
As if working faster will be profitable
Earning more money to
Buy other things

Communicating faster
Always trying to communicate faster
As if communicating faster is better
Transferring more information to
Say other things

All the while

Slower and slower
Always trying to age slower
As if aging slower will result
In living longer

Faster everything except
Aging faster
A contradiction in
Relative cognition
