PENUMBRA OF UNCERTAINTY

From young fool
to
old fool,
learning zilch

Streaking through life
with head well down and
hands firmly gripping
the steering wheel

Informed by nothing
but sad prejudices
and a lack of curiosity
and y'know insensitivity

Money spins
the world about on its axis,
the lack of it
defines us

No Sufi surfers
riding surrealist waves
No contradictions
no dangerous corners

Cushioned from pain
family-orientated
not really alive
but running the show

Everyone feels death
surely?
Everyone smells
the end

Money and
stultification
seem to go
hand in hand

Poverty is
ignorance's best friend
foot on the accelerator
overtake overtake!

We're here
to grow
that's all
I know
