Poem Title:
Poem
My gift of life is steadily tock-ticking along Why give me strife? Regularly gone missing or wrong Heard my first gasp for breath Learnt dry thirst grasp for breast Wrapped in cloth, Felt protected As tick and stop now directed. No hour is safe to dream from the nerve shredding howls The power it takes to clean those black pudding bowels The horrors of weaning a baby you gotta clean me, you made me. Sometimes I lose all patience I want the Solitaire-y life At times refute relations I haven't got a wife Irresponsibility pray for me, I reach to be one of the boys Responsibility plays on me, I rush to pick up the boys. Solemnly, Sloppily, Slaloming whatever life may throw If only I'd chopped my salami then, or if the wife had blown Why I forgot to tie the knot I've got the tip, I'll get it snipped. Life, Life, God what it all must mean Child, Wife, Job little time to just dream Between the food and the rent Seems zero hours are duly spent To juggle bills and credit cards Struggle still to get that car. Quite piste off, I wish life was a beach Night switch off, I wish, mine's outta reach Turn the wine into cash Burn the vine sprinkle ash Now I doubt a vegetarian could make those ends meet How about Carl Sagan would be amazed by this feat. It all sounds nearly mystic Turns out 's really simplistic Don't look down I fear you'll miss it. Yes today is unshrouded, here in the present Yesterday was also, yet somehow it isn't I know how it will be tomorrow too The moment of Now is a gift we borrow you. Freedoms an Illusion, they say time is your captor Reason got Ruined, always tryin' to catch ya. 30/03/2016
