Walking the Hedge

Hurry

Hurry up!

All these people speeding along

Going so fast they disturb the wind

Racing off to …

Where?

To work

To the Bar

To the store

To nowhere

Nowhere at all

They leave themselves no time

To smell the roses

To play with the children

To pray to the gods

To feel the wind

They worry

About a pile of bricks and mortar

And not their own heart and mind

They fill their lives with needless things

And restless activity

So they don’t have to smell the roses

Or play with the children

Pray to the gods

Feel the wind

Because if they did …

They would realise how stupid it is

To worry about a pile of bricks and mortar

And not your own heart and mind

To race off to work

And the Bar

And the store

To hurry up to go nowhere

Nowhere at all
