Wisdom has it
"There is no food for a lazy man"
True! There shouldn't.
But If I am not lazy,
Work hard and
Can't get food
Is this not vanity?
Is this not the court
Of living judging unfairly?
“What is wrong... then? ”
Why should I
Be wise like the ant
Be zealous like the bee
Be stubborn like the winds
Only for me to have no food
On my plate after toiling hard
Damn.. I pity myself.
Out of faith and hope
I sweat blood
To survive.
At the end,
Nothing to show for it.
This is unfair.
This is vanity.
Why is this so?
I ask myself
I just can't find the answers.
This was my entry to @wolfgang-alpha 's dsw show.. The theme was about "having faith in oneself". I decided to do the unusual. I took my thoughts to the philosophical side of thinking on the topic of 'why a man with faith and hope, who is not lazy, strives to survive and at the end there's nothing to show for it'. Nonetheless, my entry was an impromptu one.. I penned it down unedited under 5 mins when the show commenced.. The feedback I got was that of a confusing one and that it didn't relate.. to the theme. My apologies. Now what I did was to use myself as the character in the piece. Do read and share your thoughts in the comment box.
