WIT OR FOOL'S GOLD

Life can be a real bother at times

You work hard doing your stuff

And along comes a spider to mess it up

There is no shatter- proof plan

To live your life

The wrecker that pummels you

Scattering all your hopes and ambitions

Has longevity

And the ability to morph very quickly and easily

You have to be really strong or

Living will control you

And that’s no life to live

Life is often unfair

Especially when you expect reciprocity

You give without explicitly declaring a return

On your investment

But you are human and

Will resent seeming ingratitude

A good foundation for misery is

Unexplained wants and silent expectations

Not everyone can tap into another’s psyche

As twins can do

Sadly feeling closed to someone does not mean

They know you as intimately

As you pretend you know you

The way to someone’s heart

And inner world is booby trapped

An obstacle course that is often

More trouble than it is worth

Do you wish to own or support?

That is the question you must ask

When you seek to open up another’s heart

Interactions of any kind are

Fraught with misunderstandings

No manual exist for every relationship

That you may get caught up in

Peace on earth may never happen in your  life time

So don’t wish for things that you

Have no power to make happen

Issues can be resolved

But usually through compromise

 A seed bed for resentment anew

Hatred and the need to do harm

Can so easily swamp love

And fraternity

You may often feel that

Everyone is out to get you

It is a sorry state when your conscience

Constantly harangues you

Living and life can result in

Paths followed that often

Seem not meant for you

But they provide experiences

And may eventually strengthen you

It may be best to think of the cup as half full

Rather than brood that it’s the wrong colour

That does not favour you

Sometimes it is best to say thank you

For what fortune bestows on you

Your dreams may go astray

Your priorities may change

This should be no surprise

Especially if you have a realistic view

Of what is happening around you

Nothing in life is simple

The unexpected can seem to devour you

But you may pull through

Live your life with

Its unintended variety

Let patience and wisdom guide you

As life is god’s gift to you
