Momentum

Life hurls itself at the world and takes us with it
Momentum is our true name
Forever escaping the moment
In a relentless pursuit of Shangri-la 
Awareness gazes longingly at
All the resting places as we rush by
We splash our colours onto the canvas
With joy and with heartache both
But stripped of illusion, in essence,
Momentum is all we really are.

Thank you, Hazel.
We're told that if we conform, by doing X,Y,Z, we will attain some intangible Shangri-la, a "heaven", up there. But procrastination is the thief of time!
I suggest we try to create justice/peace Heaven? here and now, on Earth💐.
