    Juggernaut

     Juggernaut

     

     

    When the bad news

    grew worse

    becoming unbearable

    making breathing

    almost impossible

    there was no way

    we could ever stop

    to think

    how hard life is

    or to get off the path;

    it’s like being chased

    by one’s demons,

    with us only wanting  

    to keep from falling,

    just got to keep putting

    our best feet forward,

    taking the days as

    they come flying by,

    we make sure to duck,

    for events are too far

    beyond our control

    so all we could do

    is keep running

    as fast as we can

    praying and hoping

    not to be crushed

    by the staggering

    realization that this

    is to be our fate

    forever running

    trying to stay

    one step ahead

    of the unrelenting

    rush of worries 

    wanting to roll-over      

    our sensibilities.

    Charles - a tough emotion you convey in this piece. I'm sure that many readers will be able to relate too... Great Job! :) Ken

    Funny, being a father, and recently retired, I felt this way many a time in my life. The juggernaut for sure. Life is an easy, it isn't fair, but it is worth living.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
