Abc Poem: a To Z of Life

After all was said and done
Before I’d reached a clear conclusion 
Could It ever be the same
Down the years of trial and error
Estimation of the future
For the best determination
Going over and again
Heading nowhere so it seemed
I should know by now much better
Jeopardy is never distant
Killing time is not the answer
Living life not in the present
Makes no sense to blame another 
Never taking a decision
Only makes for consequences 
Postulated not by me
Quite opaque the future seemed
Reason lost in the confusion
Still it never is too late
To pick up the shards of life 
Undismayed by past disasters
Vesting promise in the future
Wing and prayer the mode of travel
Xerox me with better answers
Yield them for consideration 
Zest of life the validation

Thanks for your frank and honest feedback, David. It made me laugh as I have sometimes had similar thoughts on poems of others. I have now added a little explanation - see above.
