Nagging

Nagging ~ recurring,
Conjecture of truth or lies,
Man deaf to it all,
just wants a nice quiet life.

Success ~ happy life,
nagging makes it a failure,
Depressed with failure,
nagging says ~ I told you so.

With all its sarcasm,
respond with the optimism,
Out of denials,
It Will find joy in its thoughts.

Definitely food for thought here, Jay. Tbd: Is my conscience nagging me; if so, better investigate. Or is it just 'noise;' if so, shut it down. Thanks, Gershon
