How we would like a life of ease
Away from scandal,
greed and sleaze
Yet, barraged
by vast media hype
Do we consider what
is right?
Engulfed these
days in deep malaise
Where the superficial
plays
A major note in
life’s long theme;
We’ve lost the
plot; know what I mean?
Dark shadows in
our mind’s eye play
We chase
chimeras, lose our way,
Are ‘talking
shops’* the way to go?
The hunt for
votes makes progress slow …
Autumn,
meanwhile, glows with gold
Amazing views,
ours to behold!
We meditate - how
life is short;
Must all this
beauty come to nought?
We’re buffeted in
life’s fast flow
What lies ahead
we cannot know
But survival
means a brand-new trail
So, will Common
Sense prevail?
