Pantheon of life

Stumbling , fumbling
Barely keeping from tumbling.
For there's so much to learn
And everything passes in a crazy whirl.
-Sometimes it's hard to keep one's mind.

A multitude of paths
Leading this way and that.
Which one's are true and which one's red herrings?
With only a primitive compass , its hard to know,
-Which are, the right bearings....
