Not So Merry Go Round

Not So Merry-Go-Round
Written: by Tom Wright
February 2015

I’ve been intimate,
With both poverty and abundance,
I’ve been introduced to failure,
But I’m friends with success.

I’ve championed causes,
And been blessed for my efforts;
Now, I bear the scars of time,
That life has scripted for me.

Span of years has assisted me
In becoming a dour person;
The things I wish; I can no longer,
The things I don’t; encompass me.

My days being routinely filled 
With mundane things,
I search for things of interest,
Things, which might expose any value;

I flirt with day 
While embracing the night,
It’s as if I’m stuck 
On a not so merry- go- round.
Up and down, up and down,
Ride the old horse another day.
