Frustration

Ecclesiastes 1:18 New English Translation (NET Bible)

¹⁸ For with great wisdom comes great frustration;
whoever increases his knowledge merely increases his heartache.

Frustration

You never know what’s next.

Life is full of surprises

It seems the unexpected

Can pop up in many forms

Sometimes in health what’s best

At times one just surmises

As death even self-inflicted

Seems to become the norm

It’s Holiday time right now

And surprises should be common

But I guess it’s very hard

To get used to forms of death

Our flesh seems too somehow

Feels to get never summoned

To the opposite of life

Almost ignoring this as best

So it goes on head stuck in the sand

Thinking all things are all-right

Studying life around

Through the back-end sticking up

As the leader of the band

Is losing every fight

The flesh seems homeward bound

6 foot under being stuck
