THIS LIFE – THIS WORLD
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
I sometimes feel abandoned and lonely,
Yet others have a life far worse than me,
I complain of not being able to wee…
I accept that death is a guarantee,
That fate’s made me live life impotently,
Life now goes conflictingly, with hostility,
Dangers linger for proletariats, politically,
Daily communication grows antisocially,
Sociality grows more incongruously,
No one lives life inculpably,
Each of us, for something, is guilty…
We all amble on, imperfectly,
Some show blind, overbearing superiority,
Doreen Dementia is an integral part of me,
Just like Peripheral Neuropathy,
Yet, I think things aren’t going too badly,
I’ve had two cancers, of which I’m now free!
The NHS was destroyed by the Oligarchy,
I cope with mental & physical disability.
But all this seems like tranquillity…
For so many live in complete futility…
Wars, missiles, bombs, perishability,
Through greed, hatred, importunity,
Civilians, soldiers, children, no immunity,,,
Politicians rule greedily, xenophobically,
Jingoistically, showing zealotry bigotry,
Victims of crime or war show naivety,
To escape? There’s no opportunity,
My views are only observationally,
I ask each & every one pensively…
Will we ever end this violent lunacy?

Greed has wrecked the world for sure, and the lying is for the self-effacement of the pollies.

This is a great ode, Gerry, very well written, and it describes your view of existence in this world excellently.
Thanks, Tim.
