Change In The Wishing

September 27, 2024

Is thinking sufficient

to turn us around

Cerebral in nature

as problems surround

For thousands of years

our nose to the stone

We’ve battled our nature

and mostly we drone

The answers elude us

the questions forbear

While sins of our fathers

live on in the air

The harder we toil

the greater we fail

All change in the wishing

— our fortunes entail

(Saint Davids Pennsylvania: September, 2024)
