In All Its Chaotic Cohesiveness by Edwina Joe-Kamara

In All Its Chaotic Cohesiveness

With eyes glassy and shaking knee,
I sat down humbly to see how humanity
does this whole life thing
in all its chaotic cohesiveness.
It’s inherently human to sprint through moments
until the edges of reality blur and the 
time meant to be suckled in content
is forced down throats to appease
the notion of getting to the end result
quicker in hopes of making a profit 
used solely to invest back into the race. 
But by the sprint’s end, death hands
you a worn medal for finishing a 
competition you were running against yourself.

I really like this one. It makes you want to look and want to slow down and enjoy more little things.
