Views in Verse on age old questions




Age old questions
In your darker moments are you beset by worry of ‘what life has left for you?’
Introspective windows into your days; atonement for what might have been?
While searching yourself rigorously for the positives…
Are there indeed consolations here to glean?’
When examining your latest unexplained spray of nasal hair,
Do you pose to consider ‘whatever else may have changed?’
Beyond unfounded parental ambitions, the lesser path followed…?
You’d say, ‘yeah, I’m pretty well much the same’!
Nor should we be given to Shakespearean rhetoric on a cold untimely death
‘Fear no more the heat of the sun…’ …it’s coming to an end
Or Bob Dylan’s ‘old men with broken teeth, stranded without love’
So many street-people, all too often, have a ready smile to lend
Are your friends furthermore rabbiting-on about their health, raining on the parade …?
These dalliances, again, must be met with a positive spin
We’re here for a short time, let’s make it a good one
Perception rules, in face of the truth, in this world we’re living in!
