Sit back relax
Enjoy the world
As it rockets past
Toooooooooo!
Toooooooooo!
Drop the gates
Red lights flash
All this for you
Important person
Coming through
Click clack
Click clack
There’s no turning back
Guaranteed your fate
Destination Terminus
These tracks
Shall ne'er deviate
Toooooooooo!
Toooooooooo!
The last station
Too quickly will it come
Joy and peace
For many awaits
And misery for some
Screeeeeeee!
Screeeeeeee!
Approach the platform, pull the brake
My journey viewed
In retrospect
With hopes to see more give than take

Thank you so much Sophie. I thought it enjoyable to write with the simple joyous onomatopoeia of a child's poem blended with a deeper life message. I am glad you felt both sides of my motivation.
