Ending in Rhyme

Life seems so complex here in 2019 and our values are all at sea!

Filled with sorrow

and broken triangles,

red warning signs

never heeded

until

all too late.

 

There hang

the stars

upon a universe

of mystery

and yet

we hit rock bottom,

down to earth

with a thud

in grief,

as we realise

reality

is here,

is now.

 

As we watch

life,

and death

unfold

and give

more to

the fun run

than to the soup run.

 

We say we care,

words so cheap

and easy to come by

that we harvest them

like mushrooms.

 

The fungi of self serving,

instantaneously gratifying

blood rushes

floods our crippled hearts

and drags down even

the whitest of white

starched souls.

 

Until we stop believing

the rhetoric

of unsavoury

politicians and

the 'in your Facebook'

Google  ads.

 

Slip the knots,

the ties that bind,

and find the path

before you stumble

one last time.

 

Where are you

going to,

my pretty maid,

'I'm going internet surfing

Sir.' she said.

too busy net surfing, no time for actually getting things done...for making the world better.
if it isn't in google, we aren't interested.
Alexa, what are the signs we are destroying ourselves and don't care....and she answers...I'm sorry I don't know that one.
