The world
Agonizing over, never ending foolish, and selfish inner struggles
Tick… tock, tick…tock!
Fighting the urges that want to keep me from staring…
Staring upon the mundane crucial clock.!
The countless dragging out of amending, antiquated notions
Marching on one by one,
Soulful misconceptions, then a changing of the guard?
This, drawn out day of life…is never done!
Your jousting of the illusionary windmills is an absolute absurdity!
To the following false hopes, false doctrines, and prophets too
Straight into these paradigm obscurities!
Then, voids of vastness and infinity being filled
Follows through to the unremitting, unrelenting fray
Or merely drifting along?
Into these tepid waters, of a world in complete and utter disarray.
Then along comes tragedies, calamities, catastrophes
Conveying you to your utter depths,
Doubts, uncertainty also beasts of burdens…
That follow… in their footsteps.
This when we are left…
Torn! Battered and broken with harden hearts!
Never able or even willing to rise?
The ominous, black waters of self pity!
Engulfing!
Losing all hope and faith
Swallowed by the unexpected tides
Humbleness our only rescue
Blows a breeze of whispers, carried to the heart.
Jesus Christ the Savior!
Reaches out his hand, embraces you with love…
…and offers you another start.
