Urgency is friends with work
And doesn't like sheer laziness.
It cannot tolerate disorder,
Wastefulness or craziness.
Urgency demands attention,
Paid to every small detail,
To prevent a major crisis
And to minimize travail.
When urgency sends up red flags
To warn of possible dissension,
It's wise to pay the red flags heed
And put in place "prevention".
