Run! Chase! Do

Run!
To get the doing of it done.
Chase!
To keep up with the pace,
Of a treacherous rat race.

With a doing of it,
As if something real is there to accomplish.
And this will come to satisfy,
A driven need to succeed!
But at what?
Addressing impressions pretentions make?

Run! Chase! Do...
On borders of disorder,
Run.
With time wasted making life shorter.

Run! Chase! do...
Find that perfect place,
Where all headaches are erased.

Run!
To get the doing of it done.
Chase!
To keep up with the pace,
Of a treacherous rat race.

And...
With a doing of it,
As if something real is there to accomplish.
And this will come to satisfy,
A driven need to succeed!
But at what?
Addressing impressions pretentions make?

And if not approved...
Will a disappointment allow a follow-up,
More accepted in its place?

Run!
To get the doing of it done.
Chase!
To keep up with the pace,
Of a treacherous rat race.
Do...
To get done.
To hate it!
