Is Anything Slow Anymore

Is anything slow anymore
A slow day a slow way
A feeling of belonging to a place and time
Now try to rest your mind

In the land of milk and honey
Is there anybody
Somebody who can tell me for sure
Is anything slow anymore

Sunrise sunset fast train fast jet
And the newsman reports the news faster than you can place a bet
That everything is going down the drain
People don't even know your name

Now it's digital preplanned programmed
Life has become just a scam
And here am I
Wondering who I am

We use to live on less
Now we can't live on more
Now time is faster than regret will it ever be like before
Is anything slow anymore

It appears slow is a no in this new world, it's progression, just like our fathers and grandfathers before us, it's life!
