The problem with life is my emotional sensitivity is aghast at 'what is.'
This without overly romanticizing occurs
Without a second thought or word.
The problem with life is no one sees
Romance and tragedy in the same degrees
Some are elated and pleasant to witness
Some are deflated, weak and listless
The problem with life is no one agrees
People compete and resort to sleaze
The problem with life is we sprout without purpose
Survival and limits corrupt and coerce us
The problem with life is what it consists of
Aside from poetic expansions of reality
Life is a tendency to have constructed intentions
Hijacked, rerouted, punctured or blunted
Eventually or before it's performed it's main function
To live is complicated by others it seems
So some will choose to go it alone
Observing and pondering with attempts to postpone
The reality is no one will finally atone
Fiction will argue but I often see
Life is a friction not a slip-stream it seems
Grounding the static in what ever way works
Will send strife back down so we can feel our true worth.
