Evaluation

Often I wonder Why I chose the road to nowhere Accompanied by decisions of tragedy It’s my life…It’s unfair Circling a murky path while carrying a heavy load Zagging through mazes and winding roads Embracing myself for the slippery slopes Crashing to the bottom with all my hopes Just a thought What good is it to really try? Knowing in the end I will die The same destiny waits If I stay a fool or come wise How silly is my laughter When the euphoria leads to somber What is conversation but idle chatter? Awakened by reality a walking slumber Wisdom is my criticism Judgment is my defeat Knowledge tells me I am happier without you Yet, I am miserable with me Evaluating Educating Escaping life The greater my wisdom The greater my grief To increase knowledge Only to increase sorrow Ecclesiastes 1:18
