Fragments of Thoughtlessness
At the stroke of midnight, a brand new day dawns
Heralding the commencement of a fresh page
In our lives where our heart no longer groans
Over challenges that somehow drew outrage
At the turn events the previous day took
Springing on us a surprise good or bad
As unexpectedly we forsook
Caution and invited onto us a bad
Omen that drove us to the brink of despair
Tossing, spinning and twisting
In a bid to repair
A green monster who insisting
Upon sneaking into our rearguard
Drove us astray
Until we realized disregard
Of prompts from our conscience when we failed to pray
Cost us plenty in lost opportunities to grow
Socially, spiritually and morally
As our moral compass we seemed to throw
Away opting instead for the line of least resistance that literally
Plunged our world into total darkness
Conjuring up paths littered with debris
That enveloped the thoughtlessness
Driving us to pluck a hexing fruit from the proverbial forbidden tree
Seeking succor but reaping retribution
For the dour disobedience
In defiance to ten commandments to which we clang in a mission whose contribution
Shoved aside sapience
Inherited for free at birth
Squandered at will as rough seas of life
We began to navigate during our pilgrimage on Earth
Thereby planting, germinating and growing within us a reward of boundless strife.
