More More More
Meet Meet Meet
But wanting to
Sleep Sleep Sleep.
Struggling to keep these eyes open
Wanting to give in…just can’t focus
Trouble with the little one
Anxiety ruining lives
Constipation and consternation
More admin on the way
Dread souring the anticipation
Precious money will burn
When specialists earn
Astronomical figures
Making bank accounts bigger
Medical tests
Adding to the stress
Costs rising
Real income declining
Micro economic woes
Along with national economic blows
Load shedding on hold
Until power plants fold
Throwing money into a black hole
Masses believing the lies they’ve been sold
By crooked politicians
Self-enrichment their primary mission.
Election promises and big talk
Nothing but hot air
When it comes time to walk the walk.
A better life for all
But only if you’re part of the elite class so small.
Soldier on we must
In God we trust
Life is a series of tests
Stress after stress
Building you up to your best
Or breaking you down into a crying, humbled mess.
When times gets tough, hang on even more
These difficulties will pass. Of that, you can be sure.
And when you’re happy and free again
You’ll read this and rejoice, my friend.
Look back and smile
Because you made it
through this weekday morning’s trial.

A comprehensive list of the strife of life. May we keep fighting. Fighting, that inner-jihad for the better. 🙂
