.... In Life's Frivolities.



Don't you just get sucked,
into Life's frivolities?
living it like a fantasy
caught up in a web,
and walking it's dangerous thread
like a cat with nine lives?
hopeful of tomorrow
but today is a funeral
for them to cheer
and each of our stupidities
for us us to jeer?

Like youths caught in Saturn,
from orgies and cravings!
drunk and numb
yelling and raving!
disdainful of their lives
and chipping away
when they're in the cusp
of floating away
into terrains when salvation
lies not.

Don't you just get sucked in
into Life's frivolities
like a kitten lying aimlessly
when the gongs of war
are beaten in the corridor?
the words filtering from the pulpit
hitting hardened ears
like water splattering on a rock.
from the few sitting in the pew
life's a religion.....

..........For many many men,
who are lambs in the open
but wolves in the still of the night.
dreams as gigantic as skyscrapers
but their hands are like plastics
too fragile to till the field
and work the mines.
silently sitting in solitude
watching little ones
darting in the rain like lightning

Don't you just get sucked in
..into Life's frivolities
like a goose
paddling stagnant waters
and watching the lulling sunset?
scampering in idleness.
in wonder, thoughts, wandering
skimming like a sparrow
into diverse universe
brewing possibilities

In this delicate plain,
others bubbling with glee
a few too, wobbling in pain..
the bigger picture eludes us.
for tomorrow is bigger
than this little imagination
strapped to our mind.
don't you just get caught,
napping in the midst of disruption
slipping away in flamboyancy?

“In Life's Frivolities” You gave it a lovely Title — niceee

“silently sitting in solitude”
Love the repetition of the same consonant sound.

But these are my favourite lines:

“like a goose
paddling stagnant waters
and watching the lulling sunset?
scampering in idleness”

I love the images painted, they appeal to my senses the most, especially the word “lulling” added additional effect to the lines...

Good job brother @josediccus
