"The fast track is always a means to disaster,
no track of live ever runs that smooth.
And those that accomplish most things faster,
have never had to strugle for something to prove."
by SheaRyhai
P.S. if you wanna build of this go ahead we can always throw together a poem this way since you've been asking to do that.

"....But then again, why on earth should I struggle?
I think I deserve all those good things in life.
But If I truly must wait for a slow train of fate,
I must do it without any spite."

"...And all the moments I found most pleasure,
those the the times when the tracks fly to fast.
So on the slow tracks of fate look for treasure,
so all the good moments won't lie in the past."

...I think you may be right,
and this gives me a little fright
since my age is Quite nearly fifty.
I have never accomplished much
of anything in my life,
and I'm no longer as bright or as shifty.
so let's make this Train go faster,
Lets get it into a groove,
although my future could spell disaster,
It's time to make my move.

All tracks lead to the same end,
and you can not out run this fate.
Be you fifty or only twenty
only at the end is it to late.
Why rush to disaster for yourself?
You could go slower and help someone else.

So I step on the gas,
I push down the lever,
faster and faster I go.
once again on my way to disaster,
this is the only fate that I know.

...So determined you will fail,
perhaps you should squeeze the breaks.
Take a moment to find yourself,
pressure only cracks thin slate.
Sand your ground and find your center,
not in those who gaze at you.
Take this moment to remember,
its your life so you must choose.

Foouuuuuut! Sounds my horn,
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!"
Fouuuuuuut! Foouuuuuuut! sounds my horn again.
All of my life-
"I have followed your path,
I have never gone astray."
Foouuuuuuuuut!
Sounds my horn,
"It's time to get out of my way."

Can't help those, who do not help themselves,.
so if you must rush to the end.
I wish you good luck and good health,
and think of you always as my friend.
Is success worth putting your life at stake?
The dream you wish becomes the nightmare you make.
add on
sometimes you must listen to others,
though it isn't always what you would do
because of your own aspirations,
your life may become askew
there is wisdom in the advice of many
be careful when it is only a few
and you really know that your in trouble
when your only adviser is you.
...oh by the way
"there will be an awfully huge train pile up..."

...One last time I plead this warning,
Knowing already I might be to late.
Yes I understand that yearning,
Truth is I raced forward to meet my fate.
But all these words that I have said,
You couldn’t hear cause I’m already dead.
by SheaRyhai
I like trains
it looks like fun but I won't ruin what you have, you are both doing so well with it...ALL ABOARD!~
a peanut sitting on a railroad track
its heart was all ah' flutter
the train came rolling down the track
"TOOT-TOOT"...peanut butter
p.s. this could really carry on to something like "Ghost Train"...something to think about~
