Tony Bush Poet Verse

Confused? You Will Be

So, you think it's weird now 
in the bittersweet hormonal rush 
of youthful vanity? 
Well, guess what, it doesn't change, 
this life of uncertainty, 
fugue and insanity. 
You could drown in accounts 
of the way it will be, 
the way it will go; 
and the years don't offer much clarity, 
for the older you get 
the less you seem to know. 
But, saying that, it's not all bleak, 
it's the self-same cycle 
for each and everyone; 
so grab happiness where you find it 
as so often it arrests 
before it has fully begun. 
Do you still think it weird now 
this teeming maelstrom 
of paradox and contradiction? 
Just chill-out and kick back, 
go with the flow: confused? You will be - 
a human affliction.
