Good friends, long drives and country nights
fast cars, dark roads and high-beam lights.
Complete content all in despite
the lives we lived we left behind.
An air so cramped with smoke we lined
we drink to death our whole design.
The world in which we all collide
is now the world we must refine.
Yet soon we must return confined
back into our joyless lives.
It’s this we must try to remind,
The very nature of mankind.
But why the rush? We need not hide.
We’re free of all that we declined!
At last, a path we can all ride
to drive and drive into the night.
A poem I wrote earlier on this year inspired by better times I once had.
