    Poem Commentary

    I work on an ambulance and I see many a sad thing. Sometimes we just can't put humpty-dumpty back together again. Take care of yourselves people. Buckle-up and take care of yourselves.

    Hurry
    Hurry

    Hurry, hurry, hurry,
    life is running out.
    Pieces of your world
    lie scattered all about.

    Hurry, hurry, hurry,
    life is running out.
    Baby's small pink shoe,
    bits of broken glass.
    Photos on the roadway...
    scattered in the grass.

    Hurry, hurry, hurry,
    life is running out.
    Rescue's harsh shrill scream...
    people all about.

    Hurry, hurry, hurry,
    life is running out.
    Blood and pain and gore.
    It's getting hard to remember
    what the rush was for.

    Your commentary was heartfelt but I can't comment on your words. I'll have to rely on PenSatz's comment.

    Thanks, friend.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
