Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Our Lives Rearranged

So many times our lives rearranged
    Resilient we are, accustomed to change

  Wars, Revolutions, Coups and Upheavals
    Plunder and Pillage and assorted evils

  Recessions, Depressions, Runaway Inflation
    Calls for austerity and eating food rations

  Bankruptcies, lay-offs, terminations
    Then all of a sudden, rejuvenations  

  So go with the flow, and just do your best
    Give yourself one leg up on the rest

Valsa George February 10, 2023 at 12:31 AM Life is one of constant changes, often unpredictable. We cannot resist the change though some of them are very depressing. But we some how learn to live with them. We earn the stamina to face every set back. The present times are beautifully reflected in your poem, Gershon

Shirley Hawkins February 8, 2023 at 5:01 PM Your poem is all too true, Gershon. I liked the last two lines, but only because we don't have any other chance of survival. It can seem like we are turning the other cheek and ignoring the ones amid all the horror in this crazy, cruel world. Good Write, Gershon Take care, Shirley
