Sharing a post from 2016
Can’t get off this train
barreling down tracks skewed
a little to the left, to the right
Meticulously laid by those
who create the future
while running from the past
In-depth plans malleable
trusting in blind faith
and blank stares
of willing riders
unaware
as they
crash

Oh sometimes, life is but a train wreck….

Sipping tea
Gazing out the window
Watching the world wiz by
A bump
Tea spills
Another bump
Who’s driving this thing
But, we remain on the tracks
Perhaps earth hiccuped
Maybe a stone caught the wheels
But, we remain on the tracks
We’re gaining speed
Missed the station
But, we remain on the tracks
Are we considered a runaway
When our feet are still planted
Or must we crash
To be given that designation
