Frank Macchia - The Human Race

Ready...set...Go!
We burst out from the cave,
a dark and lonely cave,
yet safe and warm it felt,
to feel the rush of cold brisk air.
Squinting through the sudden,
bright and painful light.
We breathe and gasp.
It’s overwhelming.

Quickly now, we start the race,
to fit in to the plan,
made by others, who did what they were told,
by others who came before them.
All the while understanding,
that there’s no way to truly take
a path outside the designed one.
A stroll around the perimeter,
just to see another way.
No, if you do that you might get into trouble.
And don’t forget:
Trouble starts with a “T”
and that rhymes with “G”
Which stands for... growing.

Growing is alright if you keep within the boundaries,
that are designed by the
“Proclaimed Leaders”, who
tell us what to think and do.
They keep us in the race,
they keep us on the path.
Like perfect little lemmings,
following the path of least resistance.

Why do we fall in line?
Is it just the easy way out?
Our brains are built for so much more,
but instead we just give into,
The Human Race

And run until we drop,
why should we ever stop?
Maybe if we did,
we’d see the things that we never see.
The universe and infinity.
A different take on humanity.
But instead we just keep running,
The Human Race.
