The engine runs
Powerful, smooth, reliable,
But misdirected:
Pushing everything towards the cliff.
There's only enough space
For a courageous maneuver
Out of the bridge
Out of the road
Into the uncertainties
Of the sideways.
Every delay
Is hope turning into risk
A maneuver getting harder to perform,
A latent accident emerging
Due to the fear of decision.
Deadlines urge us into action,
No excuses, no overthinking.

The engine runs
Powerful, smooth, reliable,
But misdirected:
Pushing everything towards the cliff.
There's only enough space
For a courageous maneuver
Out of the bridge
Out of the road
Into the uncertainties
Of the sideways.
Every delay
Is hope turning into risk
A maneuver getting harder to perform,
A latent accident emerging
Due to the fear of decision.
Deadlines urge us into action,
No excuses, no overthinking.
