The Human Condition

And only humans are prey to it

There will come times

of unimaginable events

Times in one’s life

unforeseen and inexplicable

Times that will test

The mettle of the best

Times that will evoke grief so great

that the stoutest heart will shrivel

Times of bliss and happiness such

That one seems to float in air

Times of stress and dire duress

That seem to rend and tear

Times that try one’s heart

That seem to tear your world apart

There will come times

of blessings and perdition

Their name my friend

Is as it’s always been

...It’s name is ‘the human condition’...
