Life Is Just a Cattle Drive

Life is just a cattle drive 
Of trending hype, 
Of endless stress 
Crushing like wine press,
A tango with fortune’s 
Many taunts and tantrums, 
A gamble to grapple with fate,
So gaze with care at the 
Forked roads before you, 
Which way can you surely say 
Is not smothered by smog?
