The pace of life is fast and furious. <br />We have no time to simply stand and stare. <br />There is no peace to be found, anywhere, <br /> so many pressures brought to bear on us. <br />Why is that we have to fume and fuss <br /> lack of success is not so hard to bear <br />despite the direful warnings we hear <br />As for myself I find it curious. <br /> <br />Why many men assume that they must fail <br /> if they don’t work a sixteen hour day. <br />Subsuming every other interest. <br />Some work themselves to death to no avail <br /> because it seem to them the only way <br />To prove they’re better than the rest. <br /> <br />18-May-08 <br /> <br />http: // blog.my space.com. /poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dying-to-succeed-for-friend-jon-london/
