Slow Down: A revolutionary poem that provokes thoughts

slow down

Slow down

 

Slow down, oh honey bees!

You chased enough; now take a deep breath

Slow down, oh restless leaves!

Don’t roll so faster, for god’s sake

Slow down, oh wild waves!

Don’t move with anger

Slow down, oh brutal breeze!

You ruined enough; now be a peace

Slow down, oh fame!

Your candle is blowing out; now bring a new flame

Slow down, oh pursuits and dreams!

You are enough; now be creative

Slow down, oh money! You are so sweet, we already know; now bring us little harmony

Slow down, oh politics!

You came far; now go back to your harbor

Slow down, oh religion!

You are out of season; now use your reason

Slow down, oh technology!

The planet is all set; now find something else
