Enjoy This Ride?
So much to say, but it feels like a waste of time.
Yet here I go again,
corroborating with the fragments of mind.
I know the answers.
Why do I stray?
Swaying like branches of a tree.
I am grounded in the roots…
nothing can destroy me,
yet it seems I can blow away.
Is my body falling prey again?
I cannot seem to decipher the code
that makes me implode,
pulls at me like a tug of war,
and other times,
a merry-go-round I got in line for.
It doesn’t even matter.
It’s all a mirage,
the tiger in Life of Pi.
Just be.
Do not get attached.
Enjoy the ride.
But how can I smile while others cry?
All our bodies will die,
yet it seems we prefer to enjoy
the ticker tape of body counts and profit margins.
I bet they coincide.
And who do I abide by—
the 24/7 stimulations and dictations to survive,
or the illusionary abundance of the Divine
and thrive?
The choice seems so obvious,
but why does it feel
like we have no choice at all?
Another paradox to untangle
whilst the malevolent boast,
the misaligned pine,
and the benevolent roast…
This topsy-turvy world
somehow keeps spinning.
No worries—
it will kick us off
when it has had enough.
Another reason
to enjoy this ride.
How I wish I could find
the magical formula
to bridge this divide.
No wonder
it feels easier to pretend or hide.
Alas,
I must decide…
