King and beggar
Ecclesiastes 7:11
11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing;
it benefits those who see the light of day.
All is now so peaceful ... sleep captured all
Still worn out from yesterday ... none prepared for now
Does it make a difference to be active or rest?
Is this not the way life moves in reason anyhow?
Last week still a deadbeat ... next week an illusion
Soda pop and cereal the diet of the day
Fast food for the body ... pollution and intrusion
In a life of habits ... temporal so to play
Learn a little, escape a lot ... here and there we sing
Happiness and loneliness found in deep embrace
No one knows for sure what today will bring
Who will understand the path in a loosing race?
There is protection all around ... mostly unseen
Guided and directed in a vague destiny
Election and predestination here go hand in hand
Answering the hunger of the heart wherever it seems to plea
There is no separation here and position is nullified
King and beggar fully exposed in time so designated
Here and there a smile but mostly I see tears
With the excuse: “I did not know”, with egos now deflated
