Shit Happens

I've spent my life

knowing that each time

I opened my eyes,

something or someone 

could close them,

and one day would.

Perhaps it will be violent

or peaceful, or timely,

but it's inevitable, 

and the only way 

to truly make it tragic

is to believe you can 

live within a cocoon.

 
Author's Notes/Comments:

Well, you cannot live within a coccoon, that is so true. But Americans have greatly lost the right to privacy, and that is very sad, because there are many things that have lost their sacredness, and we are becoming less reverent towards things ...even less reverent towards life itself, and I don't think many of the younger generation is able to even see it.


...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
