Tension by:Travis Gruber

~ Tension ~
By: Travis Gruber

It�s binding, winding, grinding,
It�s gotten so bad it�s mentally blinding,
The world seems to be on fast forward while I�m on pause,
It seems everyone else is fine, but at me this tension gnaws,
I watch them hurriedly pass by absorbed inside pitiful lives,
Unfaithful husbands lying to unfaithful wives,
Ungrateful children raised by ungrateful people,
False preachers preaching underneath false steeples,
Why doesn�t the world heed the warnings to the error of it�s ways?,
For it�s ignorance is the principle why in this paused existence I stay,
Something must change, someone must budge,
Somehow somebody must get a motivational nudge,
We must slow down and help fix our mutual problems,
If we cannot, a doomed existence our fate becomes.
