Complicated Ordeal

Human life my brother is complicated ordeal
some individuals live in sweet sunshine
others dwell in struggling tasteless moonlight
many live in the shadows of moon and sun

All in the circus to survive, live, laugh, sleep
Sing “human life is complicated romanticism.
Call it theater of pleasure, pain, and pretense
Or market place of romantic adventures it is”

The earth is a football pitch pitched in the sun
human right a sign post in sighing barren moon
fate in life a soccer ball played from hidden stars	
happy are those sharing same womb with wasps

Life- fanciful, humans- dreamlike, earth- natural
All tethered by poetic tongue of fake romanticism
