Poem for the week: "The Circus Never Stops"


The Circus Never Stops

In the dusty, bloodied, and tear-soaked
arena of daily confrontations with life
and not the catacombs of the Bibles,
Korans, and Gospels of the world
will we find ourselves, —

Lost in a haze of wonder, not knowing
which path to take, life comes crashing down,
and a new way is found to the promised
land of undreamed horizons, and new
joys and miseries ensue, —

The circus never stops, day in and day out
the monkeys play, and Old Whore Life
laughs, and laughs, and laughs until
the hammer comes crashing
down again, —

And a new way is found!
