The Wreckage

Let's put it in drive.  Let's put it in reverse.

Take a look at it all in slow motion Fast forward till you can barely see

The upcoming disaster caught The fatal one-on-one

In the teeth of the commotion.  That'll bring you to your knees.

Only seconds to correct mistakes The impact was so strong in the end

Slam on your breaks What time could never mend

For as long as it takes Was forced to finally bend

And watch with mounting agitation  Due to the force of the collision

The final piece of the equation With no space for intermission

Make the world stop it's rotation Ripped wide open, the incision 

You cling to every flotation It was all on your own volition 

Device that's around Glass exploding in your face 

Until your feet hit dry ground Head snaps forward, then back

And your mouth is open wide Into place at a sickening pace

But you're not uttering a sound.  Memory loses it's trace. 

Sing-along, sing-along, Sing-along, sing-along

Merrily we row along Listen to my rhyming song

Merrily, we're going strong, By the cradle, Mother Goose

Hold hands now, we swing around Goes through my head as

Around the rosy, all fall  Time breaks loose, and shuts

Down.  Down.
