Some Existential Thoughts

Where is our Sun, our guiding light?

This sharp metaphor has bite

As leaden skies blight stoutest hearts

Snuffing out our happy sparks…

 

Life scampers on at frantic pace

“All systems go!” in madcap race;

So, who now dares to step outside

This weird maelstrom and joyride?

 

Social media wraps us round

Work commitments weigh us down

Sure-fire certainties decay

In full thirty shades of grey!

 

But, ruled by Jupiter, I try

To quit this swamp wherein we lie;

When inattention drags us down…

Friends, thank God, won’t let us drown!
