The Year of the Rat/Mouse(?)

2008 was supposed to be a time for a comeback

What happened?

Why the unusual twist, and the unexpected turn?

Or maybe I knew it would come,

It was only a question of when,

When I lost my cool, and let my intestines out,

Lost some of my guts in the process,

The end of an old potholed road beckons,

Grass and forest await,

How do I bury my shame in the sand,

And move through the new terrain?

Or was it a Godsend?

To send me to greater heights of achievement?

To transport me to loftier zeniths?


Many will be happy,

A minority sad,

Come to think of it properly,

No one is really that bad.

Don't blame the majority,

For they are not bad,

Merely easy,

Easily swayed by others' unverified untruths,

This makes them busy.

God, will what you may,

I live under the influences of the day!
