Sat in the half light,
surveying the city…
Invisible to all,
yet searching for pity…
For someone to notice,
or give me a sign…
That I exist and
that I am “FINE”…
As I look around,
watching damaged souls…
All bitter and twisted,
all growing old…
Eyes looking down,
shoulders hunched…
As the fists of life,
have repeatedly punched…
Each individual,
square on the chin…
Extracting the fun,
removing the grin…
That once appeared,
upon their faces…
Before the Devil,
tied up their laces…
Playing his tricks,
weakening each mind…
Opened up to suggestion,
distractions to find…
And tarnishing them,
beyond all repair…
Leaving hearts and souls,
in deep dark despair…
Sleepwalking an Earth,
that’s constantly revolving…
Never looking up and
never ever evolving…
As each day passes,
edging closer to death…
Our final moments and
our final breath…

Nice. It makes me wonder how we can maintain a positive outlook. I’m attempting to keep learning new and exciting things each day. My latest endeavors include kayaking and writing. Hopefully, I’ll enjoy what life I have left by doing this.
Sounds like you have a plan! Good luck with it and thanks for stopping by to comment – Cheers J
