In hastened bustling hordes they come and go
Expressionless, disheartened shuffling masses
So fast they come so fast they move to and froe
Of all races, sexes, sizes, and social classes
The clock pressures each to move even quicker
A routine of daily proportion on lunatic fringe
It is as if the undistinguishable clatter grows thicker
Their minds must feebly stand on reality's hinge
Could my grasp of one perpetually running soul
Defuse the bomb ticking briefly about to explode
Then stop them all, the stampeding whole
Adjustment further to a more humanistic mode
