A Word on Carpe Diem

This troubled year draws to a close …

With its share of ebbs and flows;

As we look back, let us reflect

How life takes place on Internet!

 

Nostalgia posts flood FB site

Some see the past in rosy light

But every age has good and bad

And not all memories are sad.

 

We cannot un-wish lives we’ve led

Or bite back harsh words we have said

Believe in karma – it is real

And helps to govern how we feel…

 

Do I make sense this New Year’s Eve?

The future has tricks up its sleeve;

Though we can’t know what will unfold

As politics runs hot and cold…

 

Earthlings – Mother Nature rules!

And despite Man’s high-tech tools

We must accept that lives are short

Hence Carpe Diem is my thought!
