It starts out with just one line
And I swear to you it does
Rough
It's rough to write, like hearing chalk touch real hard against the board and go
Up
And
Down
It wakes you up, reminds you of your current situation.
It isn't a vacation
We live in a nation
of quick runners,
Fast walkers
People who can even talk faster then they can move
People born to speed up, not down
And I swear to you it starts with one line
With one string of words, it starts
Not with fast runners or
Quick walkers
Or people who can talk real fast
It is that one string of words that is written down
That my friends is something no one can touch
It is said that actions speak louder than words
But words, lines written down, are powerful
They are more powerful than the scratching of chalk against the board
the fast people
The fast walkers
And the people who can talk faster then they can move
That one line can stop it all
Because written words are powerful
Will be making edits possibly!
