For today, turn it off.
\nThe fractions, the distractions,
\nAnd all those moaning contraptions.<\/p>\n
For today, turn it all off!<\/p>\n
It’s your choice.
\nSpeak your words for the public,
\nDress and wrap them boldly.<\/p>\n
Or, speak a lyrical silence.
\nYour thoughts a private treasure,
\nTo be puzzled out and savored instead.<\/p>\n
Yes. That is it. Turn it all off!
\nThen turn the wheel, and
\nTake the long way home.<\/p>\n
Because it’s not about the fast or slow.
\nOr the guarantee your life will be
\nAll green lights, all go.<\/p>\n
It’s about the laughing and the crying,
\nThe loving and the hating,
\nThe forgiving and the forgetting.<\/p>\n
It’s about the living. Everyday.
\nUntil our last breath escapes us.
\nTake the long way home. <\/p>\n
