I always wondered if I’d know the train was coming before it smashed into me –
Would I hear the echo of the whistle?
Feel the tremor on the tracks?
Would I doubt my instincts?
Deny its existence,
and stay steadfast?
Some say the way is safe.
Some say I’d be OK –
While others warn of hardship and strife,
and ancient ties left to decay.
Would I see the impending disaster and jump out of the way?
Or continue my uncertain path in complete and utter blind faith?
Once I see the light at the end of the tunnel –
Does that mean it’s too late?
