Poem: These Are the Times [2]

by Alex M.
 
These are the times that try a man’s soul
The threads of life, they constantly pull
People ponder and question what to do
But the ideas are as vast as the sky is blue
To where will people go?
Only life does know
Some are destined to be great
Some, to die is their fate
Some, to do what they are given
Others go for what they are striven
But as we ponder our life years down the road
We can’t help but question the state of today’s world
We are at war in a land
That doesn’t want a helping hand
Human population continues to rise
Will we still have room for its increasing size?
And what about the future in jobs
Will people be laid off by the gobs?
With all these thoughts, questions, and worries we carry
We all must keep in mind to try and be merry
Relax and cut those tensions with a knife
And remember all the joys in your life
For, everything should be taken with consideration
But how could anyone live without moderation?
