Cynicism, Escapism and a Rejoinder

Cynicism & Escapism
 
Life is no joy
Life is no sorrow,
It’s just made up of
Today and tomorrow.
 
I don’t live
‘Cos I want to...
I just live
‘Cos I’m destined to...
 
I exist because I breathe
And wonder when I’ll stop...
With bated breath I seethe
And wait for my anchor to drop.
 
Life is a maze
I go round and round -
When I get to the base,
Nothing’s to be found..!
 
I wait for my body to become still,
Till then, my time here – I just kill,
Looking up to Him and His Will
To find me suitable to fit His bill...
 
Rejoinder
 
Oh, shut up and keep quiet!
Stop this escapist word riot!
Enjoy life while it is there...
Smile away without a care!
 
Live smart, be positive!
No point being negative.
Hey, you live only once;
So, stop being a dunce!
