Slings and Arrows

Thrust into a turbulent nexus
Exceeding ability to cope
Sucker-punched in my solar plexus
Victim of life's rope-a-dope

Many feel impossible to cope while in a lockdown I agree with you Mark, about life.

Life'll do that to you!... Look what it did to Muhammed Ali, a shadow of his young self for so many sad years at the end. The fight was over for hm! :) gw

Very true, Gershon. That's why I'm glad that this life isn't all there is. ~Mark
