Imotion
We are all in a state of imotion,
going nowhere very fast.
We don't know we're not going,
and we don't know if it will last.
From our beginning,
almost lost in the past.
We moved with a walk,
for our fate was so cast.
And yes, we could run,
to attack or escape.
But we couldn't fly,
like the man with the cape.
So we used the wild animals,
for a bareback free ride.
And I'm sure the animals,
wished they could hide.
Observing round objects,
roll down the hill,
we invented the wheel,
and couldn't get our fill.
Horsepowering the wheel,
one horse at a time,
wasn't enough speed,
for a cart’s hill climb.
Some more horses,
were enlisted,
to carry the load.
And a trail no longer sufficed,
when we needed a road.
With the wind we could sail,
in a powerful motion,
across a small river,
or across a large ocean.
With steam we went faster,
with oil faster still,
gas-fired jet engines,
took us over the hill.
Of the sound barrier and past,
we rocketed to the moon.
No speed was fast enough,
nor was it too soon.
As we sat on our butts,
and went... varroom, varroom!
So with great emotion,
we slouch in imotion,
while the world flies by,
in CGI 3-D animation.
Why walk when we can fly?
We sit and snack for more.
As immobile as rocks,
we get high and soar.
Until the genie is out of the bottle,
and we can no longer walk,
and can't get up from our fat asses,
no matter how fast we talk.

and went... varroom, varroom!
Quite a sad indictment of the human race, and we've now passed this trait on to our children, who are now glued to their computers and I Pads.
You've inspired me to get off my butt and go for another long walk in the woods.
Hi Ron,
I think it is true say that your mind does not suffer from “Imotion”
In minded thought, I reckless speed;
far greater than my daily need.
To rush round like demented bee
Those many things, I must yet see.
There leave behind all thought of me.
When on those wings, I seek be free
Mor.
and we can no longer walk,
and can't get up from our fat asses,
no matter how fast we talk.
Words to "the wise" for sure, Ron. Thanks for the "heads up." Love and peace to you,
Regis
that accelerates movement.
It brought a smile on my face. My life seems to be run
by iMotion HD iPhone/Pad Apps. I'm able now to visualize
the flow of time and the build in Detector Lite secure
guarding My Space in order to frequently notice
"something's amiss! in ....the unexpected movement.
Imotion Time-Lapse iPhone test confirmed, it's the Air Wick
Freshmatic Imotion that released extra burst of fragrance
to endorse....the movement to be detected...left me confused
but relaxed knowing the place smells beautiful.
PS: Edward's comment (below) upgraded my smile to healthy
giggle.

Love ya,

It’s called vertigo and it’s not your friend.
Your head will spin like a freaking top
You can close your eyes and it still won’t stop.
Hard to grab the brass ring on this merry-go-round
With your ass in the air and your head banging the ground.
I salute this one *Ron*
