All in the Family
All our lives we flounder about untangling intricate ties—
First, with our parents, our siblings, our spouses then
our kids, our in-laws, our relatives,
Later, we squander time away unraveling our differences
with our peers, our friends, our teachers, our bosses,
our colleagues and our associates,
At the end of our lives, we struggle
to come to terms with our beliefs, our faith,
our dreams and our aspirations, our gods and our demons,
It’s the good old death that finally cuts the Gordian knot!
