Now Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Now...
And unmistaken is the swiftness of a kept beat!
Now...
The rhythm felt that sweeps people off their feet,
With such a speeding certainty...
Has a pace to keep a speeding done much too fast.
Leaving many out of breath with none to grasp.

Now...
The times we are living in,
Have begun to give many whiplash!
And those left banging their heads on dash boards,
Either wish not to be in the driver's seat...
Or are too medicated to notice the difference,
Between a brick wall and effective change.
