At a Speed That Is Much Too Slow

There are many yakkers,
Nonstop chatterboxes...
On the attack,
To get what has gone...
Back to where it had been at!

And nothing in time,
Has proven that what has expired...
Is in redevelopment,
To make a fresh return.

Those who face today,
With uncertainty displayed...
To have life lived their way,
Are to be admired for their vigilence...
That inspires.
But truth...
As unaccepting as truth can be,
Is here to stay.
No matter who is protesting it.
Or rather see it go away.

Truth,
As unaccepting with its directness can be...
Has already left many out of breath,
Playing catch up but at a speed...
That is much too slow!
